When exercising his powers to order a company director to be disqualified under the Act, the judge should be explicit that the order applied to all the categories of companies listed in the section. There was no power to limit the disqualification, for example to acting as a director of private or of public companies. It was not open to the Court of Appeal to amend an order made without jurisdiction.
