Following our previous alert, in which we highlighted an issue with entries relating to registered security maintained at Companies House being incorrectly updated to indicate that they had in fact been discharged without the awareness of the relevant company or security holder, it appears that some (potentially all) unauthorised filings have been – or are in the process of being – corrected. Is this good news? Yes, but with some reservations.
Our latest insight considers what the current position is, and the impact on insolvency practitioners and other third parties that rely on Companies House registers.
