# The Companies (Forms) (Amendment) Regulations 1987, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Companies (Forms) Regulations 1985 (“the 1985 Regulations”) as amended by the Companies (Forms) (Amendment) Regulations 1986.
The Regulations amend certain forms prescribed by the 1985 Regulations, to specify that they can be signed by an administrator, or administrative receiver, and also in Scotland by a receiver, in accordance with their powers under the Insolvency Act 1986 (c. 45).
They prescribe a new Form 169, to take account of section 66 of the Finance Act 1986 (c. 41) which relates to stamp duty, and Forms 225(1) and 225(2), which deal with an alteration in a company’s accounting reference date, to provide for it to be stated if the company is subject to an administration order under the Insolvency Act 1986. The Regulations also prescribe forms 429 dec, 429(4) and 430A under the provisions substituted by section 172 of and Schedule 12 to the Financial Services Act 1986 for sections 428 to 430 of the Companies Act 1985, and the forms previously prescribed under sections 428 to 430 are revoked, except in relation to offers under section 428 made before 30th April 1987, where the previously prescribed forms must be used. They also prescribe new forms 600 and 600a, because section 600 of the Companies Act 1985 under which that they were prescribed has now been repealed and replaced by section 109 of the Insolvency Act 1986, and to require certain additional information.
