Hi everyone
Tobias Schonwetter, as mentioned in an email last week, has put together a
really helpful document about what type of legal vehicle should be used for
the proposed SA Chapter. This document, which I've attached here, outlines
the considerations taken in drafting this opinion. Tobias (with the support
of Chetty Law) suggest that we go with a Section 21 company.
Thank you so much to Tobias for this document; it is really helpful and
outlines very clearly the issues for everyone. Please note that Tobias
alludes to the 'financial services sector' in the document, as within the
discussion during the kickoff workshop, it was mentioned by myself and
Achal that we had had an indication of initial interest from this sector
about the Chapter.
Please can we all consider the attached document. I would like to suggest
that its open for discussion and debate until *Thursday, 2nd September*,
following which a final decision will be taken about the legal vehicle.
So if you have concerns or opinions, please voice them between now and
Thurs.
Regards
Kerryn
