ABSTRACT
6.1 Part 6 of the CA 2006 applies to the name under which a company is registered, sometimes called the ‘corporate name’. This Part regulates the choice of name. The rules are primarily intended to ensure that third parties dealing with a company are not misled. There are no property rights in companies’ registered names as such. While there is no requirement for a company to use its registered name in the course of business, Part 6 also requires a company to disclose its name in specified circumstances.
