2 Power to make orders as to the disposal of valueless documents

(1) Where a company has been dissolved, whether under the Companies Act,
1931, or otherwise, the Department of Economic Development after
consultation with the Isle of Man Financial Services Authority and the
Chief Registrar may at any time after the expiration of 12 years (or 2
years where subsection (2) below applies) from the date of dissolution
order the disposal, by destruction or otherwise, of documents relating to
that company which are in the registry of companies, the Public Record
Office or any repository referred to in section 1(5) of the Public Records
Act 1999 and which are not of sufficient public value to justify their
preservation.2

(2) The Department of Economic Development may make an order under
subsection (1) above at any time after the expiration of 2 years from such
dissolution if it is satisfied that it has in its custody a copy of any
document disposed of under that subsection.3

(3) A copy of any document to which subsection (2) above applies shall, for
the purposes of the Companies Acts 1931 to 1992, be treated as if it were
the original document and if the copy is not kept in a legible form, any
duty of the Department of Economic Development to allow inspection of,
or to furnish a copy of, the document or any part of it is to be treated as a
duty to allow inspection of, or to furnish a reproduction of the copy or of
the relevant part of it in a legible form.4
