Explanation

Section 14(2) requires every alteration of the articles, with a printed copy of the altered articles, to be filed with the Registrar within fifteen days in the prescribed manner. Thirty days is the period within which the Registrar registers an alteration of the objects clause, so it is a different rule and does not apply here.
