CH
Deletion of the word "Company" or "and Company" (or
their Welsh equivalents) on re-registration to public
limited company does not constitute a change of name
under the Act. It does, however, constitute a change
of name under other circumstances, eg a private company wishing to drop the word without re-registration or an unlimited company re-registering as limited.
DO THESE RULES APPLY TO AN OVERSEA PLC?
A PLC formed abroad, on establishing a branch or
place of business in Great Britain, is governed by Part
XXIII of the Companies Act 1985, just as any other
oversea company is, so that most of the above rules do not apply. However, besides Part XXIII of the Act,
they are also governed by regulation in their country of incorporation, by certain parts of the Financial Services Act 1986, and by the City Code of Conduct.
