Companies Act 2014 section 1171

Application of Chapters 1, 2 and 4 of Part 23 to PLCs

Section 1171 confirms that certain chapters of Part 23 of the Companies Act 2014, which deal with compliance and enforcement matters, apply to public limited companies (PLCs).

• Chapters 1, 2 and 4 of Part 23 of the Companies Act 2014 are extended to apply to PLCs.
• This ensures that PLCs are subject to the same compliance and enforcement provisions as other company types covered by those chapters.
• The section is straightforward and contains no exceptions or modifications to the application of those chapters.
• PLCs must therefore comply with all obligations and requirements set out in those chapters in the same way as other companies governed by Part 23.
