Part 2 – Limited partnerships etc Registered email addresses Section 116: A limited partnership’s registered email address
This section amends section 8A of the Limited Partnerships Act 1907 and inserts new sections 8H and 8I. These amendments stipulate that applications for registration must contain a registered email address and places a duty on all general partners to maintain an appropriate email address. An email address is appropriate if, in the ordinary course of events, emails sent to it by the Registrar would be expected to come to the attention of a person acting on behalf of the limited partnership. Failure to comply with the duty will be an offence and the general partner(s) could be liable to a fine. New section 8I contains a mechanism by which a limited partnership’s registered email address may be changed.
	This will allow the Registrar to communicate with the general partners of a limited partnership, for example to provide updates, notices and reminders that are of importance to limited partnerships.
