Court upholds extension of society business beyond original colonies
In Whitehall on May 12, Lords reject the bid to confine the Australian Mutual Provident Society to New South Wales. The appeal from a New South Wales Supreme Court demurrer argues the 1857 act limited operations to colonies then part of New South Wales, now NSW Victoria and Queensland. The Lords find the words wide and allow the extension into England or South Africa, with directors not liable for acting within duty.
