    "content": "I would also want the Committee to clarify Clause 9(3)(a) where an associate is defined to include a child. I do not know whether we are now saying that a child, as defined under the Children Act, can have legal capacity to own a company. I would want to hear the thoughts of the Chairman in relation to that. Because we are trying to consolidate the law and also bring some coherence in this sector, one of the challenges that we have seen in the past is a lot of cases going to court over names. Where names are very similar, people go to court because of corporate dishonesty. Big corporations have sometimes had very vicious wars over names. I have read the section that defines what is required but I have not seen a very firm definition that you shall not register a name that is very similar to another of a company so as to avoid that business dishonesty."
