Section 790LA Duty to notify registrar of confirmed persons with significant controlF1F2C1C2
A company must give a notice to the registrar if it has had confirmation of—
a person’s status as a registrable person or a registrable relevant legal entity in relation to the company, and
the required particulars of the person (see section 790K).
A notice under subsection (1) must—
contain a statement of the required particulars, and
state the date on which the company had confirmation as mentioned in that subsection.
A notice under subsection (1) must be given within the period of 14 days beginning with the day on which the company had confirmation as mentioned in that subsection.
A company is not required to give a notice under this section in relation to a person if—
the application for the registration of the company contained a statement of initial significant control naming the person as someone who would, on the company’s incorporation, become a registrable person or a registrable relevant legal entity in relation to the company, and
the company has no cause to believe that at any time since its incorporation the person has ceased to be a registrable person or a registrable relevant legal entity in relation to the company.
Nothing in section 126 (notice of trusts not receivable by registrar) affects the duty to give a notice under this section (or the receipt of that notice by the registrar).
