Catchwords:

A legal entity moving completely from one country to another does not necessarily change its identity or cease to exist. The legal consequences depend rather on the national legal provisions concerned.

The laws of the British Virgin Islands (BVI) and of the Republic of Mauritius allow - under certain conditions - a legal entity registered as a company incorporated under BVI law to continue to exist as a company registered under the jurisdiction of Mauritius without any effect on its legal identity and thus on its party status (see point 2).
