(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations make provision relating to the functions of the registrar of companies under Part 35 of the Companies Act 2006 ("the Act") and the delivery of documents to the registrar under the Act and under other enactments. They also make provision relating to applications for striking a company's name off the register under Part 31 of the Act.

Regulation 2 requires an application to strike a company's name off the register under section 1003 of the Act (voluntary striking off) to contain a directors' declaration.

Regulation 3 authorises the registrar to annotate the register where material on the register appears to be misleading or confusing. "The register" is defined in section 1080(2) of the Act, read with section 1120, and refers to the records held by the registrar relating to companies and overseas companies. The power in regulation 3 is subject to section 1081(3) to (5) of the Act. The material to which the power applies is limited by paragraph 105 of Schedule 2 to the Companies Act 2006 (Commencement No. 8, Transitional Provisions and Savings) Order 2008 (S.I. 2008/2860 (C. 126)), as amended by the Companies Act 2006 (Part 35) (Consequential Amendments, Transitional Provisions and Savings) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/1802).
