UK: The Company, Limited Liability Partnership and Business Names (Sensitive Words and Expressions) Regulations 2014

The Company, Limited Liability Partnership and Business Names (Sensitive Words and Expressions) Regulations 2014 were laid before Parliament late last month and come into force on 31 January 2015: see here or here (pdf). An explanatory memorandum is available here (pdf).

The Regulations replace the Company, Limited Liability Partnership and Business Names (Sensitive Words and Expressions) Regulations 2009 (S.I. 2009/2615) and reduce the list of sensitive words and expressions for which companies, limited liability partnerships and businesses need approval to use in their name.
