#### 48 Prescribed grounds for an objection (s 56(3))
For subsection 56(3) of the Act, each of the following grounds is a prescribed ground for an objection to a proposed amalgamation:
(a) if the proposed amalgamation involves the registration of an association as an organisation—the association does not meet (or, if the amalgamation takes effect, will not meet) the requirements for registration under Part 2 of Chapter 2 of the Act;
(b) if the proposed amalgamation involves a change in the name of an organisation—the proposed new name of the organisation is the same as that of another organisation or is so similar to the name of another organisation that it is likely to cause confusion;
(c) if the proposed amalgamation involves a widening of the eligibility rules of an existing organisation—there is another organisation to which persons who:
(i) are potential members of the amalgamating organisations; and
(ii) would be ineligible to join any of the amalgamating organisations if the rules of those organisations were not widened;
might more conveniently belong and would more effectively represent those members.
