ABSTRACT
There are currently standard sets of articles contained in Companies (Tables A to F) Regulations 1985 (SI 1985/805, as amended (see above, 1.1)) which can be incorporated with or without modification. Table A is a form of articles for a company limited by shares and will become the articles of a limited company if no articles are registered; or, if articles are registered, Table A will apply to the extent that such articles do not modify or exclude Table A (s 8). Private companies limited by guarantee without a share capital and unlimited companies must have their articles in the form set out in Tables C or E respectively, or as near to that form as circumstances permit.
