Chapter 2 - Miscellaneous provisions about partnerships Section 154: Power to amend disqualification legislation in relation to relevant entities: GB
This section inserts new section 22I into the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986 (CDDA1986). This new section allows the Secretary of State to make regulations which extends the application of the CDDA1986 so that the general partners of a limited partnership can be disqualified from acting as general partners of limited partnerships or from otherwise acting in management roles in other sorts of business association.
	The regulation-making power also allows for similar extensions of disqualification legislation to limited liability partnerships and qualifying Scottish partnerships.
	It is anticipated that, amongst other things, the power in this new section will be used to make a number of consequential amendments to the Limited Partnership Act 1907, including:
amend the definition of "disqualified under the directors disqualification legislation" to take account of courts being able to give permissions to act as general partners and to be registered officers; and
introduce requirements for statements to be given when general partners or registered officers would be disqualified but for the permission of the court to act or licences granted under SAMLA 2018.
