61: Rectification or correction of register

You could also call this:

"Fixing mistakes in the limited partnership register"

Illustration for Limited Partnerships Act 2008

The Registrar can fix mistakes in a register if you ask them to. They can do this if they think something is wrong or missing in the register. The Registrar can also fix mistakes on their own if they notice something is incorrect. You can ask the Registrar to fix a mistake, and they will look at your request. If your request affects someone else, the Registrar will tell the limited partnership or overseas limited partnership about your request.

The Registrar will give public notice with details like your name, the name of the limited partnership, and why you want to make changes. They will also say when people need to object to your request, which is at least 20 working days after the notice. Anyone can object to your request by giving the Registrar a written notice before the deadline. The Registrar will then give your objection to you, and they will not make the changes if someone objects, unless the objection is withdrawn. You can see similar rules in the s 360A section. The Registrar's decision is important, and they will follow the rules to make sure everything is correct.
