Limited liability partnerships—application of Companies Act 2006 to LLPs—checklist The majority of law applicable to limited liability partnerships (LLPs) is actually modified company law rather than partnership law.

Companies Act 2006—history and approach to implementation

The Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006) embodies the most wide-ranging reform of company law in over 20 years. It was brought into force on a staggered basis over a period of around three years and its final provisions came into effect on 1 October 2009. It replaces the Companies Act 1985 (CA 1985) as the key UK company law statute and, while to a large extent CA 2006 restates the law as in force under CA 1985, it also contains significant changes to it.Although most of CA 1985 was repealed as CA 2006 was implemented, a small proportion of CA 1985 remains in force. For more information, see Practice Note: Companies Act 1985 and Table A.Comprising 1,300 sections and 16 schedules, CA 2006 was thought to be the longest statute passed into English law at the time of its Royal Assent. In addition to its length, there are two other notable features in terms of the way it is drafted:•it is drafted in relatively plain English, avoiding some of the...

Will interpretation—property passing on death

Will interpretation—property passing on death Rules relating to the construction of Wills have developed over many years and those surrounding the interpretation of dispositions were quite unclear due to the differing rules relating to personalty and realty. This was changed by the statutory effect of the Administration of Justice Act 1982 (AJA 1982). The case of Marley v Rawlings confirmed that the modern approach is to ascertain the testator’s intention from their words. While no longer as definitive as they were previously, many of the previous rules remain a helpful starting point. On the basis of the caselaw in this area, practitioners are advised to use only precedents that are in common usage and not to depart from them without careful consideration. References to property in a Will speak from the date of death A reference to real and/or personal property (for a discussion of real and personal estate, see Practice Note: Devolution of assets and the need for a grant) in a Will speaks from the...

Can the write-off of a loan made by one company to another be a distribution under Part 23 of the Companies Act 2006, where both the lending company and the borrowing company have the same majority shareholder?

Can the write-off of a loan made by one company to another be a distribution under Part 23 of the Companies Act 2006, where both the lending company and the borrowing company have the same majority shareholder? We can find no direct authority confirming that the write-off of a loan made by one company to another, where both the lending company and the borrowing company have the same majority shareholder, is a distribution under Part 23 of the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006) or that it is not. There is a possibility that a court could view such a transaction as a distribution for these purposes and some careful analysis of the law and the facts will be necessary. However, Stakefield (Midlands) and others v Doffman and another provides some useful guidance. The court found that the waiver by a company (S Ltd) of certain loans owed to it by other companies associated with it (by virtue of two of the shareholder/directors of S Ltd...
