UK: the Companies Act 2006 (Consequential Amendments, Transitional Provisions and Savings) Order 2009

The Companies Act 2006 (Consequential Amendments, Transitional Provisions and Savings) Order 2009 was made on 21 July and comes into force on 1 October 2009. It has been published on OPSI: see here (html) and here (pdf). An explanatory memorandum is available here (pdf) and this explains:

The Companies Act 2006 received Royal Assent in November 2006 and is being implemented in stages. Many provisions of this Act have already come into force and consequential amendments were made on 6 April and 1 October 2008 using the Companies Act 2006 (Consequential Amendments etc) Order 2008 to deal with most of the earlier implementation, although some of the earlier Commencement Orders contained limited consequential amendments. Virtually all the remaining provisions will come into force on 1 October 2009. The main purpose of this Order is to make consequential amendments to legislation which contains references to earlier Companies Acts, and to the definitions and concepts found in those Acts".
