(2) The SE shall, within the period of 14 days from the occurrence of –

(a)any change among the members, or

(b)any change in the particulars contained in the register,

send to the registrar a notification in the Form SE77A(NI), SE77B(NI) or SE77C(NI), as may be appropriate, set out in Schedule 1, of the change and of the date on which it occurred; and a notification of a person having become a member shall contain a consent, signed by that person, to act in the relevant capacity.

(3) The register shall be open to the inspection of any shareholder of the SE without charge and of any other person on payment of a fee of £2.50 for each hour or part of an hour during which the right of inspection is exercised.

(4) If an inspection required under this regulation is refused, or if default is made in complying with paragraph (1) or (2), the SE is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale.

(5) In the case of a refusal of inspection of the register, the High Court may by order compel an immediate inspection of it.
