8.  Where a member’s usual residential address appears as a service address—

(a)in the LLP’s register of members by virtue of paragraph 5 above, or

(b)in the register of LLPs by virtue of paragraph 7,

Continuation of protection afforded by confidentiality orders under the 1985 Act

11.—(1) A member in relation to whom a confidentiality order under section 723B of the 1985 Act, as applied to LLPs, was in force immediately before 1st October 2009 is treated on and after that date as if—

(a)the member had made an application under section 1088 of the Companies Act 2006 (application to make address unavailable for public inspection), as applied to LLPs, in respect of any address that immediately before that date was contained in “confidential records” as defined in section 723D(3) of the 1985 Act, and

(2) The provisions of Parts 1, 3 and 4 of the Companies (Disclosure of Address) Regulations 2009(1) relating to decisions of the registrar in favour of an applicant (in particular, as to the duration and revocation of such a decision) apply accordingly.

(3) As those regulations apply in accordance with this paragraph any reference to an offence under section 1112 of the Companies Act 2006 (false statement) as applied to LLPs by regulation 69 shall be read as a reference to an offence under the Limited Liability Partnerships (Particulars of Usual Residential Address) (Confidentiality Orders) Regulations 2002(2) in relation to the application for the confidentiality order.

12.—(1) A member in relation to whom a confidentiality order under section 723B of the 1985 Act as applied to LLPs was in force immediately before 1st October 2009 is treated on and after that date as if—

(b)that application had been determined by the registrar in the member’s favour.

(2) The provisions of Parts 1, 2 and 4 of the Companies (Disclosure of Address) Regulations 2009 relating to decisions of the registrar in favour of an applicant (in particular, as to the duration and revocation of such a decision) apply accordingly.

(3) As those regulations apply in accordance with this paragraph any reference to an offence under section 1112 (false statement) as applied to LLPs by regulation 69 shall be read as a reference to an offence under the Limited Liability Partnerships (Particulars of Usual Residential Address) (Confidentiality Orders) Regulations 2002 in relation to the application for the confidentiality order.

13.  Where a confidentiality order under section 723B of the 1985 Act as applied to LLPs was in force immediately before 1st October 2009 in relation to a member, section 162(5) and (8) of the Companies Act 2006 as applied to LLPs by regulation 18 do not apply in relation to the part of the LLP’s register containing particulars of the usual residential address of the individual that before that date were protected from disclosure.

Effect of pending application for confidentiality order

14.—(1) The Limited Liability Partnerships (Particulars of Usual Residential Address) (Confidentiality Orders) Regulations 2002 continue to apply in relation to an application for a confidentiality order made before 1st October 2009.

(2) Paragraphs 11 to 13 above (continuity of protection afforded by confidentiality orders) apply to a person in respect of whom such an application has been made, and has not been determined or withdrawn, as to a person in relation to whom a confidentiality order was in force immediately before that date.

(3) If the application is dismissed or withdrawn, those paragraphs cease to apply.

(4) If the application is successful those paragraphs continue to apply as in the case of an individual in relation to whom a confidentiality order was in force immediately before 1st October 2009.

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
