90 Winding-up by the court
The Supreme Court may order that an incorporated association be
wound up if—
(a) the association has, by special resolution, resolved that it be
wound up by the court; or
(b) the association does not begin its operations within the period of
1 year beginning on the date of incorporation of the association;
or
(c) the association suspends its operations for a period exceeding
1 year; or
(d) the association is unable to pay its debts; or
(e) the association (not being an association incorporated under a
declaration under section 15 (1)) has, in the opinion of the court,
secured pecuniary gain, as trustee or otherwise, for its members;
or
(f) for an association incorporated under a declaration under
section 15 (1)—the association has not complied with a
condition to which the incorporation of the association is subject
under section 15 (2); or
(g) the association has engaged in activities outside the scope of its
statement of objects; or
(h) the committee of the association has acted in affairs of the
association in the interests of the committee, or of a member or
members of the committee rather than in accordance with the
statement of objects of the association, or has acted in any other
manner that appears to the court to be unjust or inequitable to
the members of the association; or
(i) the court is of the opinion that it is just that the association be
wound up.
