Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations.)

1.  These Regulations amend the Company and Business Names Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1984 (“the 1984 Regulations”). The 1984 Regulations specify certain words and expressions for the purposes of Article 36 of the Companies (Northern Ireland) Order 1986 and Article 4 of the Business Names (Northern Ireland) Order 1986. Under those Articles the Department’s approval is required for the use of such words and expressions in (respectively) a company or a business name.

2.  These Regulations amend the 1984 Regulations by deleting the words “Building Society”, “Breed”, “Breeder”, “Breeding” and “Nursing Home” and by substituting for the expressions “Chamber of Commerce”, “Chamber of Industry” and “Chamber of Trade”, the expressions specified in regulation 4(4). Regulation 3 inserts a reference to the plural and possessive forms of the words or expressions specified.

3.  The amendments to the 1984 Regulations made by regulations 3(2), 3(3) and 4(4) are subject to transitional provisions in regulation 5. These allow the continued use, in certain circumstances, of a business name containing expressions specified in regulations 3(2), 3(3) and 4(4) where that name was lawfully used before the coming into operation of these Regulations.
