Message from Companies House
The Companies Act 2006 requires a company to submit a copy of a resolution to the Registrar in order to comply with several different filing obligations. It has previously been the Registrar’s practice to accept a set of minutes that contains details of the resolution.
The requirements of the Act are only that the resolution must be filed with us and the remainder of the minutes often contain unnecessary material (within the meaning of S.1072 of the Act).?This unnecessary material does not need to be part of the register and often gives rise to customer requests to remove information.
In line with our aim to improve the quality of information on the register, from 13 March we will no longer accept a set of minutes which have a resolution embedded within them. A company will need to file a separate copy of the resolution in order to comply with their filing requirements.?We will regard sets of minutes that are submitted from 13 March to be unnecessary material which is not easily separable and so the Registrar will reject such documents.
