Proceeding contribution from Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 30 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Company Law Reform Bill [HL].


Company Law Reform Bill [HL]

moved Amendment No. A209C:"Page 359, line 37, at end insert ““or by means of a website in accordance with Part 4 of Schedule 6””" The noble Lord said: This is another Law Society issue, which I am afraid we have altered slightly. The noble Lord, Lord Sharman, with his purist approach, has stuck rigidly to the Law Society’s wording. We seek to ensure that the clause makes express provision for deemed delivery where publication is via a website. Our amendment is slightly different, in that it specifically points the user in the direction of the rules in Schedule 6, relating to publication via a website and whether a member has agreed to accept it. This makes it clear, in the main part of the Bill, that the company must follow these rules under these circumstances. Therefore, we refer to Part 4 of Schedule 6 in our amendment. I beg to move.
