		Section 9 defines such a company as one formed on the principle of having the liability of its members limited to the respective amounts that the members undertake to contribute to the property of the company in the event of its being wound-up.
		Pursuant to s 517, upon the winding-up of a company, no contribution in the case of a company limited by guarantee is required from a member exceeding the amount undertaken to be contributed by that member to the property of the company.
		Thus, when a company limited by guarantee is a going concern, there is no obligation for a member to subscribe to the amount of her or his guarantee; it is only in the event of winding-up that the member's legal liability arises.
