Latest Legal News - Companies Act 2006 Update (September 2010)
On the 30th September 2010 the use of sole corporate directors will be abolished. Any company without a 'natural person' acting as a director will be in default and could face fines from Companies House or possible sanctions from the Secretary of State. This also applies to companies with a secretary as a natural person and a corporate director, as they will also be in breach of the legislation
Under the new legislation this requirement is satisfied if the directorship is held by a natural person as a representative of a corporation or by virtue of an office.
If you require any assistance with this issue or are unsure as to your position please do not hesitate to contact us.
