Part 1: Companies House Reform Disqualification in relation to companies Section 33: Disqualification on summary conviction: GB
This section amends section 5 of the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986 ("CDDA 1986") (disqualification on summary conviction), to allow for the disqualification of directors in Great Britain that have been convicted (either on indictment or summary conviction) of failing to comply with "relevant provisions of the companies legislation" as set out in section 31.
	Section 33(3) of this section substitutes subsection (3) of section 5 of the CDDA 1986 so that for a person to be disqualified under section 5, during the 5 years ending with the date of the conviction, there must have been no fewer than 3 relevant findings of guilt in relation to the person. Section 33(3) also inserts new subsection (3A) which sets out what the relevant findings of guilt in relation to a person can be.
