Section 34

If the proposed name is identical to that of any other existing trade union, or so nearly resembles the name of such other trade union as, in the opinion of the Director General, is likely to deceive the public or the members of either trade union, or is in the opinion of the Director

General would promote feelings of ill-will and hostility between different races, religions or nationalities, he shall refuse to register the change of name.

Subject to subsection (2), the Director General shall, if he is satisfied that the provisions of this Act in respect of change of name have been complied with, register the change of name in the prescribed manner, and the change of name shall have effect from the date of such registration.

If the Director General is satisfied that the provisions of this

Act in respect of amalgamation have been complied with and that the trade union formed thereby is entitled to registration under section 12, he shall register the trade union in the prescribed manner and the amalgamation shall have effect from the date of such registration.
