Part 1: Companies House Reform General offences and enforcement Section 107: Rectification of register: principal office addresses
This section inserts new section 1097C into the Companies Act 2006, which confers upon the Secretary of State a regulation-making power to enable the Registrar to change a relevant person’s principal office address where there is evidence to suggest that the address is not in fact their principal office. The Registrar may act on her own motion or on the basis of an application by a third party. It is based on section 1097A of the Companies Act 2006, which makes similar provision in relation to a company’s registered office. For the purposes of section 1097B, a "relevant person" is a director, secretary, joint secretary, registrable person or registrable legal entity in all cases of a company that is not an overseas company.
	This section also makes amendments to section 1087 by including a reference to section 1097C and principal office addresses, ensuring that any application or other document delivered under regulations made under new section 1097C are not made available by the Registrar for public inspection.
