42 .         Power of conversion into a company, etc.

        (1)         A registered society may, by special resolution, determine to seek incorporation as a company under any law for the time being in force relating to the incorporation of companies, or to amalgamate with, or transfer its engagements to, any such company.

        [(2)         deleted]

        (3)         If a society is registered as, or amalgamated in with, or transfers all its engagements to a company, the registry of such a society under this Act shall thereupon become void, and the same shall be cancelled by the Registrar, but the registration of a society as a company shall not affect any right or claim for the time being subsisting against such society or any penalty for the time being incurred by such society, and for the purpose of enforcing any such right, claim or penalty, the society may be sued and proceeded against in the same manner as if it had not been registered as a company, and every such right or claim, or the liability to such penalty, shall be enforceable as against the property of such company.
