Following our previous alert, in which we
highlighted an issue with entries relating to
registered security maintained at Companies
House being incorrectly updated to indicate
that they had in fact been discharged without
the awareness of the relevant company
or security holder, it appears that some
(potentially all) unauthorised filings have been
– or are in the process of being – corrected.
Is this good news? Yes, but with some
reservations.
This insight considers what the current position is, and the impact on insolvency practitioners and other third parties that rely on Companies House registers.
