Version Superseded: 20/01/2007
Point in time view as at 13/09/1999. This version of this provision has been superseded.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 217 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.

(1)A company may remove an entry against a person’s name from its register of interests in shares if more than 6 years have elapsed since the date of the entry being made, and either—
(a)that entry recorded the fact that the person in question had ceased to have an interest notifiable under this Part in relevant share capital of the company, or
(b)it has been superseded by a later entry made under section 211 against the same person’s name;
and in a case within paragraph (a) the company may also remove that person’s name from the register.
(2)If a person in pursuance of an obligation imposed on him by any provision of this Part gives to a company the name and address of another person as being interested in shares in the company, the company shall, within 15 days of the date on which it was given that information, notify the other person that he has been so named and shall include in that notification—
(a)particulars of any entry relating to him made, in consequence of its being given that information, by the company in its register of interests in shares, and
(b)a statement informing him of his right to apply to have the entry removed in accordance with the following provisions of this section.
(3)A person who has been notified by a company in pursuance of subsection (2) that an entry relating to him has been made in the company’s register of interests in shares may apply in writing to the company for the removal of that entry from the register; and the company shall remove the entry if satisfied that the information in pursuance of which the entry was made was incorrect.
(4)If a person who is identified in a company’s register of interests in shares as being a party to an agreement to which section 204 applies (whether by an entry against his own name or by an entry relating to him made against another person’s name as mentioned in subsection (2)(a)) ceases to be a party to that agreement, he may apply in writing to the company for the inclusion of that information in the register; and if the company is satisfied that he has ceased to be a party to the agreement, it shall record that information (if not already recorded) in every place where his name appears as a party to that agreement in the register.
(5)If an application under subsection (3) or (4) is refused (in a case within subsection (4), otherwise than on the ground that the information has already been recorded) the applicant may apply to the court for an order directing the company to remove the entry in question from the register or (as the case may be) to include the information in question in the register; and the court may, if it thinks fit, make such an order.
(6)Where a name is removed from a company’s register of interests in shares in pursuance of subsection (1) or (3) or an order under subsection (5), the company shall within 14 days of the date of that removal make any necessary alteration in any associated index.
(7)If default is made in complying with subsection (2) or (6), 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.
