Part 1: Companies House Reform Facilitating electronic delivery Section 75: Delivery of documents by electronic means
This section amends section 1068 of the Companies Act 2006. These changes allow the Registrar, by means of Registrar’s rules, to mandate the manner of delivery of documents, removing limitations on the Registrar’s ability to mandate electronic delivery. The section also repeals section 1069 of the Companies Act 2006 which currently places the power to mandate electronic delivery in the hands of the Secretary of State, by means of a power to make regulations specifying that. This is no longer needed in view of the freedom the Registrar has to prescribe this by way of rules. Finally, the section makes a consequential amendment to section 1072 by repealing the reference to section 1069.
