142.Section 723C sets out the effect of a Confidentiality Order, which is to remove the right of public access to the usual residential address of the directors, etc concerned which is to be held as a confidential record by Companies House, and to require the company’s Annual Return to show the service address rather than the usual home address of the director, etc. The section provides for Regulations to make provision for similar protection for usual residential addresses filed on the company’s own register of directors. It also provides for Regulations to make provision for the inspection of the confidential records and about applications for access. The section also enables provision to be made as to the conditions governing the choice of service addresses. It is anticipated that certain public bodies such as law enforcement agencies will have automatic access rights to the private address under the regulations; the regulations may cover the means by which those not afforded automatic rights will be able to apply to be given access by the court.
