UK: the Companies Act 2006 and Limited Liability Partnerships (Transitional Provisions and Savings) (Amendment) Regulations 2009

The Companies Act 2006 and Limited Liability Partnerships (Transitional Provisions and Savings) (Amendment) Regulations 2009 were laid before Parliament on 10 September and come into force on 1 October 2009 (with the exception of paragraph (2) of regulation 2, which comes into force on 30 September and which will cause Section 22(2) of the Companies Act (2006) not to come into force on 1 October).

A copy of the Regulations has been published today on OPSI: see here (html) and here (pdf). The Regulations make amendments concerning: the property of a dissolved company or limited liability partnership; entrenched provisions of a company's articles of association; and company and business names which suggest a connection with the Welsh Assembly Government. Further information is available in the accompanying explanatory memorandum.
