Companies (Particulars of Company Charges) Regulations 2008

BERR have published The Companies (Particulars of Company Charges) Revised Draft Regulations 2008.  They, Err …, deal with the information to be provided to the Registrar of Companies on the registration of company charges under Part 25 of the Companies Act 2006.  These are timetabled to come into force on 1 October 2009. 

They are still in draft and capable of revision but I think this is unlikely.  The prescribed particulars for English and Welsh companies are—
“(a) the date of the creation of the charge;
(b) a description of the instrument (if any) creating or evidencing the charge;
(c) the amount secured by the charge;
(d) the name and address of the person entitled to the charge; and
(e) short particulars of the property charged.”

For Scotland, the prescribed particulars are:

“(a) the particulars prescribed by regulation 2; and
(b) in the case of a floating charge, a statement as to any provisions of the charge and of any instrument relating to it which prohibit or restrict or regulate the power of the company to grant further securities ranking in priority to, or pari passu with, the floating charge, or which vary or otherwise regulate the order of ranking of the floating charge in relation to subsisting securities.”
