Companies directed by a single individual living outside Australasia – to be removed

by Leave a Comment

New Zealand registered companies that continue to be directed beyond 28 October 2015 by a single individual who resides outside Australasia – will be removed from the register of companies by the Registrar of Companies, under changes being introduced by the Companies Amendment Act 2014 and the Limited Partnerships Amendment Act 2014. Under this legislation ……

By 28 October 2015 ….

All New Zealand companies will have to have at least one director who either lives in New Zealand; or lives in Australia and is a director of a company incorporated in Australia by 28 October 2015.

When filing annual returns after 28 October 2015 New Zealand companies will need to indicate whether any director living in Australia is also a director of a company incorporated in Australia. They will also need to provide details of one of those Australian companies (ACN, name and registered office address).

All sole directors of any NZ company who reside outside Australia will have to get busy and before 28 October 2015 appoint at least one suitable director who actually resides in New Zealand, if the company is to comply with the new law. This may prove a demanding task in the case of for example, a sole director who resides in the United States and who currently directs a significant number of NZ companies on his/her own.

Checketts McKay Law, John M Carr, Steve Crow and Liquidated Porn

by Leave a Comment

A hardcore porn company Z4K74D (In Liq) – formerly called Vixen Direct Ltd and directed by NZ “Porn King” Steve Crow owed unsecured creditors $262,528 and the IRD $163,550 when put into liquidation on 27 May 2009. It has been unable to pay unsecured creditor Checketts McKay Law of Cromwell (Alan Bevin McKay of 35 The Mall, Cromwell 9342) for legal sevices rendered. The law firm was listed by the Liquidators, Chartered Accountants Meltzer Mason Heath, as one of 50 odd unsecured creditors who would receive nothing from the failed porn company. Mr Alan McKay is currently the Attorney who acts for San Antonio Texas-based company director John M. Carr whose companies are the subject of ongoing investigations by the National Enforcement Unit (N.E.U.) of the NZ Companies Office. John Malcolm Carr (see photo links below) co-directs porn companies Eden Digital Ltd and CVC Group Ltd with Steve Crow. Among his many colourful business interests Crow owns 50% of the shares in 435 Devon Limited that owns the former troubled RSA Clubrooms in New Plymouth.

John M Carr and the peripatetic, puzzling, pliable, P.A. shareholder

by Leave a Comment

Late on Wednesday evening 16 December, company director John Malcolm  Carr  (see photo – http://www.carr.co.nz/images/jmc.jpg) changed the registered name of the listed shareholder of four New Zealand registered companies he directs, from “Cuchara Inc” to “Carr Consulting P.A.”  By doing so he confirmed the Society’s contention (see Dec. Newsletter) that he had been using an incorrect US-based corporation shareholder name for about nine years in his annual returns.  The Society is correct to have asserted that all the shares are in fact held by a professional association  (P.A.) authorised to render financial planning advice and related services in Florida through Better Business Services Inc, which Carr directs from his office in the US.

Porn King Steve Crow, Vixen Direct Ltd, Phoenix Companies and Criminal Sanctions

by Leave a Comment

The Companies Act 1993 defines a phoenix company as being, in relation to a failed company, a company that at any time before or within five years after the commencement of the liquidation of a failed company, is known by a name that is also a pre-liquidation name of a failed company or is a similar name. When phoenix company arrangements are established in which the new company created bears a similar name, similar assets and similar management structure to a failed company, the purposes of such companies are usually part of a scheme either to circumvent obligations to creditors of the failed company (avoid debts owed) or to mislead the public into believing they are dealing with the same entity as previous, possibly as part of an attempt to mislead creditors of the previous company.
