The Court, if satisfied with respect to every creditor of the company who under section 15 is entitled to object to the reduction, that either that person’s consent to the reduction has been obtained or that person’s debt or claim has been discharged or ha s determined, or has been secured, may make an order confirming the reduction on such terms and conditions as it thinks fit.
Where the Court makes any such order, it may —
if for any special reason it thinks proper so to do, direct that the company shall, during such period, commencing on or at any time after the date of the order, as is specified in the order, add to its name as the last word thereof the words “and reduced”; and
require the company to publish as the Court directs the reasons for reduction or such other information in regard thereto as the Court may think expedient with a view to giving proper information to the public, and, if the court thinks fit, the causes which led to the reduction.
Where a company is ordered to add to its name the words “and reduced”, those words shall, until the expiration of the period specified in the order, be deemed to be part of the name of the company.
