EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations correct an error in regulation 19(5) of the Companies (Cross-Border Mergers) Regulations 2007. That provision creates an offence of failing to comply with requirements to deliver documents. It refers, however, to a provision which does not provide for such requirements instead of to a provision which does. These Regulations replace the reference with a correct reference to a provision which provides for such requirements.
