    9.Effect of stamp of transferor's broker or of prescribed stock exchange on prescribed instrument
  • (1)

    Where an instrument that has been duly completed in accordance with or to the effect of Part 1 of Form 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 or 7 as provided by section 6 or a like provision of a corresponding law bears the impression of a stamp purporting to be that of the transferor’s broker, or of a prescribed Stock Exchange, and to have been affixed in the Territory, the transferor’s broker (and, if he is a member of a firm of brokers, each member of that firm), or the Stock Exchange, as the case may be:

    • (a)

      shall be deemed to have warranted the accuracy of the statements in the certificate of the transferor’s broker, or of the Stock Exchange, as the case may be, set out in the instrument;

    • (b)

      shall be deemed to have warranted that the transferor is the registered holder of or is entitled to be registered as the holder of the marketable securities to which the instrument relates or is entitled to the rights to marketable securities to which the instrument relates and is lawfully entitled or authorized to sell or dispose of those marketable securities or rights; and

    • (c)

      is liable to indemnify:

      • (i)

      • (ii)

        the transferee; and

      • (iii)

        the transferee’s broker,

    against any loss or damage arising from a forged or unauthorized signature of the transferor appearing in the instrument.

  • (2)

    Without limiting the operation of subsection (1), where:

    • (a)

      a duly completed instrument referred to in that subsection bears the impression of a stamp purporting to be that of the transferor’s broker and to have been affixed in the Territory; and

    • (b)

      the instrument relates to marketable securities or to rights to marketable securities to which or to any of which another such duly completed instrument relates, being another instrument that bears the impression of a stamp purporting to be that of a prescribed Stock Exchange,

    the broker whose stamp that first-mentioned stamp purports to be (and, if he is a member of a firm of brokers, each member of that firm) is liable to indemnify the Stock Exchange against any loss or damage arising from a forged or unauthorized signature of the transferor appearing in the instrument.

  • (3)

    In this section, marketable security and right to a marketable security, in relation to an instrument that is duly completed as provided by a corresponding law referred to in subsection (1), have the same respective meanings as they have under the corresponding law.

10Registration of prescribed instruments
  • (1)

    A company or prescribed corporation with which an instrument that is a sufficient instrument of transfer under section 6 is lodged for the purpose of registering a transfer of marketable securities or obtaining the allotment of marketable securities is, and its officers are, in the absence of knowledge to the contrary, entitled to assume without inquiry that:

    • (a)

      a stamp impressed on the instrument and purporting to be the stamp of the transferee’s broker is the stamp of that broker;

    • (b)

      a stamp impressed on the instrument and purporting to be the stamp of the transferor’s broker is the stamp of that broker; and

    • (c)

      a stamp impressed on the instrument and purporting to be the stamp of a prescribed Stock Exchange is the stamp of that Stock Exchange.

  • (2)

    A company or prescribed corporation with which an instrument that is a sufficient instrument of transfer under section 7 is lodged for the purpose of registering a transfer of marketable securities or obtaining the allotment of marketable securities is, and its officers are, in the absence of knowledge to the contrary, entitled to assume without inquiry that:

    • (a)

      at the time of the execution of the instrument, the authorized trustee corporation named in the instrument was holding the marketable securities or the rights to the marketable securities in the ordinary course of its business in trust for or on behalf of the transferee; and

    • (b)

      the transfer was not made by way of a sale, gift or exchange of the marketable securities or rights.

    11Operation of act
  • (1)

    This Act applies and has effect in relation to the transfer of marketable securities and to the transfer of rights to marketable securities notwithstanding anything to the contrary in another law or instrument relating to the transfer of the securities or the transfer of the rights.

  • (2)

    Except as provided by this Act, this Act does not affect the terms and conditions on which marketable securities or rights to marketable securities are sold.

  • (3)

    Nothing in this Act affects any right of a company or prescribed corporation to refuse to acknowledge or register a person as the holder of marketable securities or to allot marketable securities to a person on a ground other than an objection to the form of instrument lodged with the company or prescribed corporation purporting to transfer the marketable securities or rights to the marketable securities to him.

  • (4)

    The registration of a transfer of a marketable security, or the allotment of a marketable security, by means of an instrument that is a sufficient instrument of transfer under this Act does not constitute a breach of any law, memorandum, articles, constitution, trust deed or other instrument relating to marketable securities.

  • (5)

    This Act does not prevent or affect the use of any other form of transfer of marketable securities or form of transfer of rights to marketable securities, or mode of execution of an instrument of transfer of marketable securities or mode of execution of an instrument of transfer of rights to marketable securities, that is otherwise permitted by law.

12Omission from register of certain matters

The omission from a register, certificate or other document relating to marketable securities of a statement of the occupation of the person who is, or is entitled to be, registered as the holder of the marketable securities does not constitute a breach of any law, memorandum, articles, constitution, trust deed or other instrument relating to the marketable securities.

13Transfers, whether or not prescribed instruments, need not include certain matters

Notwithstanding anything contained in the constitution or rules of a company or prescribed corporation or in the terms or conditions upon which marketable securities or rights to marketable securities in a company or prescribed corporation are created or issued, it is not necessary in an instrument of transfer of marketable securities or of rights to marketable securities to state the occupation of the transferee or transferor or to have the signature of the transferee or transferor witnessed.

14Offences
  • (1)

    A broker shall not, in the Territory, affix the impression of a broker’s stamp to an instrument that may be used as a sufficient instrument of transfer under this Act or under a corresponding law unless the instrument relates to a sale or purchase made in the ordinary course of business of the broker for a consideration of not less than the unencumbered market value (at the time of the sale or purchase) of the marketable securities or rights to marketable securities to which the instrument relates.

  • (2)

    A prescribed Stock Exchange shall not, in the Territory, affix the impression of a stamp of the Stock Exchange to an instrument that may be used as a sufficient instrument of transfer of marketable securities or of rights to marketable securities under this Act or under a corresponding law unless:

      an instrument relating to those marketable securities or rights has been duly completed in accordance with or to the effect of Part 1 of Form 1 or 5 as provided by section 6 or a like provision under a corresponding law and has been lodged with the company or prescribed corporation that has issued or proposes to issue the marketable securities or rights; or

      made by way of a sale, gift or exchange of the marketable securities or rights; or

    • (b)

      to or in favour of a person who is not the beneficial owner of the marketable securities or rights.

  • (4)

    A person other than an authorized trustee corporation shall not, in the Territory, knowingly cause, authorize or permit to be executed an instrument that may be used as a sufficient instrument of transfer under section 7 or under a like provision of a corresponding law if it is not a sufficient instrument of transfer within the meaning of that section or provision, as the case may be.
