Explanatory note

These Regulations prescribe two forms which are in Welsh as well as in English. The forms prescribed for the purposes of section 30 of the Companies Act 1985 are prescribed for use when making statutory declarations under sub-section (5) of that section (exemption from requirement of "limited" as part of the name of a company). Equivalent English forms were prescribed by the Companies Form (Amendment) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/736).

New form 12CYM replaces form 12CYM prescribed in the Companies (Welsh Language Forms and Documents) (Amendment) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/734). The form 12CYM prescribed by S.I. 1995/734 contained a mistake in that it referred to "consent signature" instead of to "declarant's signature". Form 12CYM is a form for the statutory declaration of compliance with the requirements on application for registration of a company, under section 12 of the Companies Act 1985. The previously prescribed form 12CYM is revoked with effect from 1st July 1995.
