Point in time view as at 06/04/2001. This version of this provision has been superseded.
You are viewing this legislation item as it stood at a particular point in time. A later version of this or provision, including subsequent changes and effects, supersedes this version.
Note the term provision is used to describe a definable element in a piece of legislation that has legislative effect – such as a Part, Chapter or section.
Companies Act 1985, Section 185 is up to date with all changes known to be in force on or before 23 August 2024. There are changes that may be brought into force at a future date. Changes that have been made appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.
Changes and effects yet to be applied by the editorial team are only applicable when viewing the latest version or prospective version of legislation. They are therefore not accessible when viewing legislation as at a specific point in time. To view the ‘Changes to Legislation’ information for this provision return to the latest version view using the options provided in the ‘What Version’ box above.
(1)Subject to the following provisions, every company shall—
(a)within 2 months after the allotment of any of its shares, debentures or debenture stock, and
(b)within 2 months after the date on which a transfer of any such shares, debentures or debenture stock is lodged with the company,
complete and have ready for delivery the certificates of all shares, the debentures and the certificates of all debenture stock allotted or transferred (unless the conditions of issue of the shares, debentures or debenture stock otherwise provide).
(2)For this purpose, “transfer” means a transfer duly stamped and otherwise valid, or an exempt transfer within the M1Stock Transfer Act 1982, and does not include such a transfer as the company is for any reason entitled to refuse to register and does not register.
(3)Subsection (1) does not apply in the case of a transfer to any person where, by virtue of regulations under section 3 of M2the Stock Transfer Act 1982, he is not entitled to a certificate or other document of or evidencing title in respect of the securities transferred; but if in such a case the transferee—
(a)subsequently becomes entitled to such a certificate or other document by virtue of any provision of those regulations, and
(b)gives notice in writing of that fact to the company,
this section has effect as if the reference in subsection (1)(b) to the date of the lodging of the transfer were a reference to the date of the notice.
(4)A company of which shares or debentures are allotted or debenture stock is allotted to [F1a recognised clearing house or a nominee of a recognised clearing house or of a recognised investment exchange], or with which a transfer is lodged for transferring any shares, debentures or debenture stock of the company to [F2such a clearing house or nominee], is not required, in consequence of the allotment or the lodging of the transfer, to comply with subsection (1) [F3; but no person shall be a nominee for the purposes of this section unless he is a person designated for the purposes of this section in the rules of the recognised investment exchange in question].
[F4“Recognised clearing house” means a recognised clearing house within the meaning of the Financial Services Act 1986 acting in relation to a recognised investment exchange and “recognised investment exchange” has the same meaning as in that Act.]
(5)If default is made in complying with subsection (1), the company and every officer of it who is in default is liable to a fine and, for continued contravention, to a daily default fine.
(6)If a company on which a notice has been served requiring it to make good any default in complying with subsection (1) fails to make good the default within 10 days after service of the notice, the court may, on the application of the person entitled to have the certificates or the debentures delivered to him, exercise the power of the following subsection.
(7)The court may make an order directing the company and any officer of it to make good the default within such time as may be specified in the order; and the order may provide that all costs of and incidental to the application shall be borne by the company or by an officer of it responsible for the default.
