Regulation 15 Requirement to disclose LLP name etc

Section 85 applies to LLPs, modified so that it reads as follows—

“Minor variations in form of name to be left out of account

85.

(1)

For the purposes of this Chapter, in considering an LLP’s name no account is to be taken of—

(a)

whether upper or lower case characters (or a combination of the two) are used,

(b)

whether diacritical marks or punctuation are present or absent,

provided there is no real likelihood of names differing only in those respects being taken to be different names.

(2)

This does not affect the operation of provisions of the Company and Business Names (Miscellaneous Provisions) Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/1085) permitting only specified characters or punctuation.”.
