Check your website details
or risk a fine
A Nottingham law firm is
warning companies they
risk being fined unless
they ensure that their
websites and emails
contain specific
information now required
under new regulations.
Andrew Kelly, of Anderson
Solicitors, says the
regulations are to comply
with a European directive
and came into force on
January 1 this year.
“The information that
firms have always had to
put on hard copy documents
is now required on
electronic
communications as well.”
“A company has to state
its name, its place of
registration and
registration number, and
the address of its
registered office on its
websites, business emails
and electronic order
forms.”
The regulations were
introduced to
incorporate the European
First Company Law
Amendment Directive, into
UK law.
