Provisions supplementary to section 32 .

33.—(1) Any person carrying out a valuation or making a report under section 32 shall be entitled to require from the officers of the company such information and explanation as he thinks necessary to enable him to carry out the valuation or make the report and provide the note required by that section; and section 31 (3) shall apply in relation to any such valuation and report as it applies in relation to a valuation and report under section 30 (1) with the substitution of a reference to this subsection for the reference in section 31 (4) to section 31 (1).

(2) A company which has passed a resolution under section 32 with respect to the transfer of an asset shall, within 15 days of the passing of the resolution, deliver to the registrar of companies a copy of the resolution together with the report required by that section and, if it fails to do so, the company and every officer of the company who is in default shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding £250 together with, in the case of a continuing offence, a fine not exceeding £25 for every day on which the offence continues, but not exceeding £500 in total.

(3) Any reference in section 32 or this section to consideration given for the transfer of an asset includes a reference to consideration given partly for its transfer but—

(b) the independent person shall carry out or arrange for such valuations of anything else as will enable him to determine that proportion; and

(c) his report under that section shall state what valuation has been made by virtue of this paragraph and also the reason for and method and date of any such valuation and any other matters which may be relevant to that determination.
