The report entitled Cheyenne Insurance Company (NZ) Ltd: When is an ‘insurance’ company a real insurance company? was published on this website on 20 October, 2010.

Why did this US businessman need to make this change on 27 October 2010 after calling it an INSURANCE company since 1994. The answer relates to the passing by parliament on 7 September 2010 of the Insurance (Prudential Supervision) Act 2010 (see 20 October report) outlawing the use of the word “insurance” in a company name, when the company does not have authorisation to engage in insurance transactions.
