Companies Act, 1862

Power of Lord Chancellor of Ireland to make rules.

173. In Ireland the Lord Chancellor of Ireland may, as respects the winding-up of companies in Ireland, with the advice and consent of the Master of the Rolls in Ireland, exercise the same power of making rules as is by this Act herein-before given to the Lord Chancellor of Great Britain; but until such rules are made the general practice of the Court of Chancery in Ireland, including the practice hitherto in use in Ireland in winding up companies, shall, so far as the same is applicable and not inconsistent with this Act, apply to all proceedings for winding up a company.
