(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations set out certain obligations of companies in relation to the inspection any copying of their records by members and non-members. They set out the circumstances in which companies are not obliged to provide copies of entries on the various registers and prescribe the fees that they may charge for the provision of copies of entries on registers and for copies of other documents.
Section 723A(6) of the Companies Act 1985 (as inserted by section 143(1) of the Companies Act 1989) provides that companies can provide more extensive facilities than they are obliged to provide under these Regulations or charge fees that are less than those prescribed under these Regulations.
