Regulation 8 Permitted characters and symbols for names and addresses in documents delivered to the registrar

(1) The characters and symbols specified in paragraph (3) are permitted for the purposes of section 1108(1) of the Companies Act 2006 (and names and addresses in documents delivered to the registrar must therefore contain only those characters and symbols).

(2) But the requirement in section 1108(1) does not apply to the following documents -

(a) a memorandum of association;

(b) a company's articles;

(c) an order made by a competent court in the United Kingdom or elsewhere;

(d) an agreement required to be forwarded to the registrar under Chapter 3 of Part 3 of the Companies Act 2006 (agreements affecting a company's constitution);

(e) a valuation report required to be delivered to the registrar under section 94(2)(d) of that Act;

(f) a document required to be delivered to the registrar under section 400(2)(e) or section 401(2)(f) of that Act (company included in accounts of larger group: required to deliver copy of group accounts) [Sections 400 and 401 were applied to limited liability partnerships by regulation 10 of S.I. 2008/1911.];
