When an application for registration is made, the Registrar shall satisfy themselves that the society has complied with this Law and the regulations, that the society is a bona fide cooperative society and that its proposed rules are in conformity with this Law and the regulations, and for these purposes may make such enquiries and obtain such information as the Registrar thinks fit.
The Registrar shall not approve an application for registration of a society referred to in section 4A(1) if the proposed directors and senior officers of the society have not been determined by the Authority to be fit and proper persons.
The Registrar, upon being satisfied of the foregoing matters, may register the society and its rules and shall forthwith inform the Cabinet who shall publish a Gazette Notice thereof in the Islands.
If the Registrar refuses to register a society, an appeal shall lie to the tribunal appointed by regulations within one month from the date of such refusal. The decision of the tribunal shall be final and shall not be called in question in any court.
