COMPANIES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1960 - SECT 85

85.(1) Neither a register of holders of debentures of a company nor a
duplicate of any such register or part of any such register which is kept
outside Northern Ireland shall, if kept in Northern Ireland, be kept elsewhere
than at the registered office of the company, any other office of the company
at which the work of making it up is done, or, if the company arranges with
some other person for the making up of the register or duplicate to be
undertaken on behalf of the company by that other person, at the office of
that other person at which the work is done, and where a company keeps in
Northern Ireland both such a register and such a duplicate, it shall keep them
at the same place.

(2) Subject to sub-section (3), every company which keeps any such register or
duplicate in Northern Ireland shall send notice [in the prescribed form] to
the registrar of companies of the place where the register or duplicate is
kept and of any change in that place.

(3) A company shall not be bound to send notice under sub-section (2) where
the register or duplicate has, at all times since it came into existence, or
in the case of a company which came into existence after the commencement of
this Act, at all times since then, been kept at the registered office of
the company.

(4) Where a company makes default in complying with sub-section (1) or makes
default for fourteen days in complying with sub-section (2), the company and
every officer of the company who is in default shall be liable to a default
fine.

(5) Where the register of holders of debentures of the company is kept at the
office of some person other than the company and by reason of any default of
his the company makes default in complying with sub-section (1) or sub-section
(2), that other person shall be liable to the same penalty as if he were an
officer of the company who was in default.
