Winding-up

The phrase 'voluntarily wound up' in the first limb would mean the voluntary winding up of an insurance public company in accordance with s. 54 of the Insurance Act, The Neptune Assurance Co. Ltd.v.

Set up
Set up, means a unit cannot be said to have been set up, unless it is ready to discharge the function for which it is being set up. It is only when the unit has been put into such a shape that it can start functioning as a business or a manufacturing organization that it can be said that the unit has been set up. The word 'set up' in the principal clause is equivalent to the word established, CWT Madras v.
