Companies Act 1993

Overseas companies

335: Validity of transactions not affected

You could also call this:

“Overseas companies' deals remain valid even if registration rules aren't followed”

If an overseas company doesn’t follow the rules in section 333 or section 334, it doesn’t mean their deals are invalid or can’t be enforced. Even if the company didn’t do what it was supposed to do, any agreement or transaction they made is still valid and can still be carried out. This means that the company’s failure to follow these rules doesn’t affect the deals they’ve made with other people or businesses.
