Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations revoke a number of instruments relating to prescribed forms for companies and limited liability partnerships that are no longer required.
Regulation 2 amends a transitional provision in the Companies Act 2006 (Commencement No. 8, Transitional Provisions and Savings) Order 2008 (S.I. 2008/2860) and applies the requirements as to form, authentication and manner of delivery in the Companies Act 2006 to documents that are delivered to the registrar from 1st October 2013, regardless of when the obligation to deliver arose.
Regulation 3 revokes Regulations that contain prescribed forms and requirements as to delivery that are redundant as a consequence of the change made by regulation 2.
A regulatory impact assessment has not been prepared for this instrument as it has no impact on business, charities or the voluntary sector.
