A House Built on Sand?: False Filings at Companies House

February 26, 2025, 11:00 am to 12:00 pm

Join Jessica Powers as she delivers the next webinar in our series from our Commercial, Company and Insolvency practice.

In March 2024, Companies House hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons. UK Finance had issued an urgent notice to its members warning of the filing of around 800 MR04 forms at Companies House, which falsely recorded that company charges had been satisfied. False filings are surprisingly common, whether they are filed in error or form part of a deliberately fraudulent scheme.

In this webinar, Jessica Powers will discuss the issue, drawing on her ample personal experience of cases involving false and erroneous filings. In particular, she will focus on:

  • The reforms to Companies House introduced by the Economic Crime and Transparency Act 2023
  • Filings relating to shareholdings
  • Rectification applications
