1087AInformation about a person’s date of birth

1

Information falls within this subsection at any time (“the relevant time”) if—

a

it is DOB information,

b

it is contained in a document delivered to the registrar that is protected at the relevant time as regards that information,

c

the document is one in which such information is required to be stated, and

d

if the document has more than one part, the part in which the information is contained is a part in which such information is required to be stated.

2

“DOB information” is information as to the day of the month (but not the month or year) on which a relevant person was born.

3

A “relevant person” is an individual who is an LLP member.

4

A document delivered to the registrar is “protected” at any time unless it was registered before this section comes into force.

5

Information about a person does not cease to fall within paragraph (1) when he or she ceases to be a relevant person and, to that extent, references in this section to a relevant person include someone who used to be a relevant person.

6

Nothing in paragraph (1) obliges the registrar to check other documents or (as the case may be) other parts of the document to ensure the absence of DOB information.

b

disclosure of the information by the registrar is permitted by subsection (2) or another provision of this Act.

The registrar may disclose restricted DOB information—
