55: Public access to registers

You could also call this:

"Seeing the company information that is available to the public"

Illustration for Limited Partnerships Act 2008

You can access the registers at any time, unless they are suspended. The Registrar can refuse access to a register or stop it from working if they think it is not practical to provide access. They can also stop it for other reasons that are set out in regulations made under this Act.

You can still ask for official information under the Ombudsmen Act 1975 or the Official Information Act 1982, even if the register is suspended. However, there are some limits to this right, which are explained in sections 57(2) and 115. The Registrar's decision to suspend a register does not affect your right to ask for official information under these Acts.
