EFFECT OF ALTERATION OF ARTICLES ON A COMPANY’S MEMBERS

Section 25 restates Section 16 of the 1985 Act,which maintained the principle that members of a company are not bound by any alteration to the articles which require them to increase their liability to the company or to take more shares in the company.A member may,however,give written consent to such an alteration and will subsequently be bound by it.

If a company alters its articles,Section 26 states that a copy of the altered articles must be sent to the registrar not later than 15 days after the alteration takes effect.Should a company fail to comply with this requirement,the company(and every officer of the company who is in default)commits an offence.In addition,if the registrar becomes aware of a failure to comply with Section 26 then,under Section 27,the registrar may give notice to the company requiring it to rectify the breach within 28 days.If the company complies with the notice,it will avoid prosecution for its initial failure to comply.However,if the company does not comply,it will be liable to a civil penalty of£200,recoverable by the registrar as a debt,in addition to any criminal penalty that may be imposed.

EXISTING COMPANIES REGISTERED UNDER PREVIOUS LEGISLATION

Existing companies will continue to be subject to the version of the model articles in force when they were originally registered,although the current model articles have been changed to reflect the changed provisions on resolutions,meetings and electronic communications.【点击免费下载>>>更多ACCA学习相关资料】

The Companies(Tables A to F)(Amendment)Regulations 2007(SI 2007 No 2541)took effect from 1 October 2007,and it is possible that further revisions may have to be made in April 2008 when other parts of the CA 2006 come into effect.However,existing companies will be free to adopt,wholly or in part,the new model articles established under the CA 2006 once they are confirmed.

Finally,the memoranda of existing companies will contain constitutional information which will,in future,be set out in the articles.Section 28 provides that such material is to be treated,in the future,as part of the company’s articles.Also,where the memorandum of an existing company contains a provision for entrenchment,then Section 28 states that the provision will be deemed to be in the company’s articles.

更改条款对公司成员的影响

第25条重申了1985年法令第16条的原则，即公司成员不受任何要求他们增加对公司的责任或持有更多公司股份的章程更改的约束。但是，会员可以书面同意此类更改，并且随后将受其约束。

如果公司更改其章程细则，第26条规定，修改后的章程细则的副本必须在更改生效后的15天内发送给注册官。如果公司未能遵守此要求，则该公司（以及该公司的每位违约人员）均属违法。此外，如果注册商发现未能遵守第26条，则根据第27条，注册商可以通知公司，要求其在28天内纠正违规行为。如果公司遵守通知，它将避免因其最初不遵守而被起诉。但是，如果公司不遵守，除了可能被施加的任何刑事处罚外，它还将被处以200英镑的民事罚款，可由注册商作为债务追讨。

根据以前的立法注册的现有公司

现有公司将继续受其最初注册时有效的示范条款版本的约束，尽管当前的示范条款已更改以反映有关决议、会议和电子通信的更改条款。

2007年公司（表A至F）（修订）条例（SI 2007 No 2541）于2007年10月1日生效，当CA 2006的其他部分生效时，可能需要在2008年4月进行进一步修订影响。但是，现有公司将可以全部或部分采用根据CA 2006建立的新模型条款，一旦它们被确认。

最后，现有公司的备忘录将包含章程信息，这些信息将在未来的条款中列出。第28条规定，此类材料在未来将被视为公司章程的一部分。此外，如果现有公司的备忘录包含一项巩固条款，则第28条规定该条款将被视为在公司章程中。
