Reference
Reference was the sending of any matter of inquiry by the Court of Chancery to a chief clerk, a taxing master, or a conveyancing counsel, that he might examine it and certify the result to the court. References in cases involving matters of account were also frequently made to the masters of the Courts of Common Law under the (English) C.L.P. Acts.The Judicature Acts and rules did not repeal the powers of reference to masters under the Common Law Procedure Acts [[(English) Judicature Act, 1873, s. 83] (see now (English) Jud. Act, 1925, s. 125), but made provision for attaching to the Supreme Court permanent official referees, and four official referees were appointed shortly before that Act came into operation. To any of such official referees, or to a special referee, questions arising in an action may, by (English) Jud. Act, 1925, ss. 88, 89, be referred: (1) subject to the right to a jury, for inquiry and report; or (2) where the parties consent, and also without such consent in any...

Winding-up
Winding-up, the process by which an insolvent estate is distributed, as far as it will go, amongst the persons having claims upon it. The term is most frequently applied to the winding-up of joint-stock companies.The property of a company is collected and distributed firstly in discharge of its liabilities, and secondly, among its members according to their respective rights with a view to its dissolution. If the assets are not sufficient to meet the liabilities, a company is usually wound up by the Court. In other cases the winding-up is usually voluntary and conducted by the company itself either with or without the supervision of the Court. The provisions of the (English) Companies Act, 1929, govern a winding-up in any of these three modes (s. 156). In any winding-up the members who may be called upon to contribute are ascertained and their liability determined under ss. 157-162; see CONTRIBUTORIES. Debts and claims of all kinds require to be proved and if not of certain value to be...
