COMPANIES (NORTHERN IRELAND) ORDER 1978 - SECT 148



148.(1) It is hereby declared that the power conferred on a company by
section 384(1) of the principal Act to keep a register or other record by
recording the matters in question otherwise than by making entries in bound
books includes power to keep the register or other record by recording the
matters in question otherwise than in a legible form so long as the recording
is capable of being reproduced in a legible form.

(2) Any provision of an instrument made by a company before the day of the
coming into operation of this Article which requires a register of holders of
debentures of the company to be kept in a legible form shall be construed as
requiring the register to be kept in a legible or non-legible form.

(3) If any such register or other record of a company as is mentioned in the
said section 384(1) or a register of holders of debentures of a company is
kept by the company by recording the matters in question otherwise than in a
legible form, any duty imposed on the company by virtue of the Companies Acts
to allow inspection of, or to furnish a copy of, the register or other record
or any part of it shall be treated as a duty to allow inspection of, or to
furnish, a reproduction of the recording or of the relevant part of it in a
legible form.

(4) The Department may by regulations make such provision in addition to the
preceding paragraph as it considers appropriate in connection with such
registers or other records as are mentioned in that paragraph and are kept as
there mentioned, and the regulations may make modifications of provisions of
the Companies Acts relating to such registers or other records as are
mentioned in that paragraph.
