Section 20 Annotation of the registerC1I1I2I3
United Kingdom
The registrar must place a note in the register recording—
the date on which a document is delivered to the registrar under this Part or regulations made under it, or otherwise in connection with the register;
if a document is replaced (whether or not material derived from it is removed), the fact that it has been replaced and the date of delivery of the replacement;
if material is removed—
what was removed (giving a general description of its contents),
under what power, and
the date on which that was done.
The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision—
authorising or requiring the registrar to annotate the register in such other circumstances as may be specified in the regulations, and
as to the contents of any such annotation.
No annotation is required in the case of a document that by virtue of section 1072(2) of the Companies Act 2006 (documents not meeting requirements for proper delivery) is treated as not having been delivered.
A note may be removed if it no longer serves any useful purpose.
Any duty or power of the registrar with respect to annotation of the register is subject to the court’s power under section 31 (powers of court on ordering removal of material from the register) to direct—
that a note be removed from the register, or
that no note may be made of the removal of material that is the subject of the court’s order.
Regulations under this section are subject to the negative resolution procedure.
