Resource type: Legal update: archive

Status: Published on 02-Jan-2007

Jurisdiction: United Kingdom

On 22 December 2006 the DTI published the first commencement order under the Companies Act 2006 (The Companies Act 2006 (Commencement No. 1, Transitional Provisions and Savings) Order 2006 (SI 2006/3428)), detailing the provisions in the 2006 Act coming into force (and provisions in other legislation being repealed) on 1 January, 20 January and 6 April 2007. On the same day The Companies (Registrar, Languages and Trading Disclosures) Regulations 2006 (SI 2006/3429), to implement the First Company Law Amendment Directive, were published. An explanatory memorandum to the Commencement Order and the Regulations, together with an implementation briefing on the Commencement Order and Regulations, have also been published. As expected, the provisions of the 2006 Act and regulations to implement the First Company Law Amendment Directive (2003/58/EC) came into force on 1 January 2007, including new obligations on companies to include the details specified in sections 349 and 351 of the Companies Act 1985 (company name, place of registration and registered number, registered office etc) on all business letters and order forms (whether in electronic, hard copy or any other form) and on the company's websites. The Commencement Order does not include the provisions in the 2006 Act to implement the Takeovers Directive.
