order.
(2) The following are officers of a company for the purposes of this Act —
(a) a director, secretary or registered agent;

concerned or takes part in the promotion, formation or
management of a company.
(3) Unless the court otherwise orders, the period of disqualification shall
begin at the end of the period of 21 days beginning with the date of the
order.
(4) If a disqualification order is made against a person who is already subject
to such an order or to a disqualification undertaking, the court may order
Section 2 Company Officers (Disqualification) Act 2009
Page 6 AT 4 of 2009 c
the periods specified in those orders or (as the case may be) in the order
and the undertaking to run concurrently or consecutively.
(5) A disqualification order may be made on grounds which are or include
matters other than criminal convictions, despite the fact that the person
in respect of whom the order is to be made may be criminally liable in
respect of those matters.
(6) In the subsequent provisions of this Act “P
” means the person who is, or
is liable to be, the subject of a disqualification order or a disqualification
undertaking.
(7) In subsection (2)(d) “relevant foreign law” means the law of a place

established.
2 Disqualification undertakings
[P1986/46/1A]

specified in it, P will not be an officer of a company without the leave of

(2) The Authority may accept a disqualification undertaking in the
circumstances specified in section 6.2
(3) The maximum period which may be specified in a disqualification
undertaking is 15 years and the minimum period is 2 years.
(4) If the Authority accepts a disqualification undertaking and P is already
subject to such an undertaking or to a disqualification order, the periods
specified in those undertakings or (as the case may be) the undertaking
and the order may run concurrently or consecutively as the Authority
and P may agree.3
(5) In determining whether to accept a disqualification undertaking offered
by P, the Authority may take account of matters other than criminal

those matters.4

disqualification order must give not less than 28 days’ notice of that
intention to the person against whom the order is sought.
(3) Proceedings for a disqualification order may only be brought within 2
years of the date on which the applicant could reasonably be expected to

High Court grants leave for an application to be made later.
4 Power of High Court to disqualify unfit officers
[1992/4/26]
(1) On an application under this section the High Court may make a

disqualification order against P if it is satisfied —

time become insolvent (whether while P was an officer or
subsequently), and
(b) that P’s conduct as an officer of that company (either taken alone
or taken together with P’s conduct as an officer of any other
company or companies) makes P unfit to be an officer of a
company.
(2) Under this section the maximum period of disqualification is 15 years
and the minimum period is 2 years.
(3) An application for the making of a disqualification order under this
section against P may only be made before the end of the period of 2

c AT 4 of 2009 Page 9
8 Matters for determining unfitness of officers
[P1986/46/9]
(1) Where it falls to a court to determine whether the conduct of P as an
officer of any particular company or companies makes P unfit to be an
officer of a company, in assessing that conduct, the court must have
regard, amongst other things, to the following —
(a) the matters mentioned in Part I of Schedule 1; and
(b) if the company has become insolvent, to the matters mentioned in
Part II of that Schedule,
and references in that Schedule to the officer and the company are to be
read accordingly.
(2) In determining whether the Authority may accept a disqualification
undertaking from P, it must have regard to the same matters as those to
which the court must have regard under subsection (1).10
(3) The Authority may by order amend or repeal any of the provisions of
Schedule 1 and such an order may contain such incidental, supplemental
and transitional provisions as may appear to the Authority necessary or
expedient.11

[P1986/46/10]
