an application to register the trade union and printed copies of the rules, together with a list of the titles and names of the officers, shall be sent to the Registrar;
the Registrar, upon being satisfied that the objects of the trade union are lawful and that the trade union has complied with the regulations respecting registration, shall register such trade union and such rules;
no trade union shall be registered under a name identical with that by which any other existing trade union has been registered, or so nearly resembling such name as to be likely to deceive the members of the public;
where a trade union applying to be registered has been in operation for more than a year before the date of such application, there shall be delivered to the Registrar before the registration thereof a general statement of the receipts, funds, effects and expenditure of such trade union in the same form, and showing the same particulars, as if it were the annual general statement required as hereinafter mentioned to be transmitted annually to the Registrar;
the Registrar, upon registering such trade union, shall issue a certificate of registration, which certificate, unless proved to have been withdrawn or cancelled, shall be conclusive evidence that this Law and any regulations made thereunder, with respect to registration have been complied with; and
the Cabinet may, from time to time, make regulations respecting registration, and respecting the seal, if any, to be used for the purpose of such registration, the forms to be used for such registration, the inspection of documents kept by the Registrar, the fees, if any, to be paid on registration, not exceeding the fees specified in the First Schedule and generally for carrying this Law into effect.
