Yeah that's the governments new approach. Invent all sorts of silly rules and regs then get the public to enforce it themselves by threatening them with big scary fines because they know it's unfeasible to enforce adequately without our help.
You keep sheepwalking sonny I'm too lazy to police myself.

who cares if it is being policed, it costs nothing to comply and if everyone is doing it as I am noticing then you look a bit cowboy small time if you are not even following these basic rules

Exactly how they will enforce this law.
Check every email from your company ?

Who's actually policing this and how effective are they likely to be?
Laws are useless unless they're enforced. I don't think I have to worry about the SAS kicking my door in because I've neglected some of these details on my website and emails.

I was under the impression that if you had a link to your website, and your website had the relevant required information your were fine...
I may be wrong though

Page 4.
Schedule 1 - Regulation 6.
1.—(1) Section 349(a) of the 1985 Act (company’s name to appear in its correspondence etc) is amended as follows.
(2) In subsection (1)—
(a) in paragraph (a), after “business letters” insert “and order forms”;
(b) after paragraph (b) insert—
“(ba) on all its websites,”.
(3) In subsection (3)—
(a) in paragraph (a), after “business letter” insert “or order form”;
(b) omit the “or” at the end of that paragraph;
(c) after that paragraph insert—
“(aa) causes or authorises the appearance of a website of the company on which the company’s name is not so mentioned, or”.
(4) After subsection (4) insert—
“(5) References in this section to a document of any type are to a document of that type in hard copy, electronic or any other form.”.
Also those in the know say that any email that could be construed as a "business letter" will be included in this, and it's easier to put a blanket sig on than deciding which email is in and which is out.
Not explicitly stating email but that's it...

I downloaded a 760 page PDF I found at the Companies House website and can only find 2 references to e-mail there, neither relevant to this subject.
Looking at the first page, it's entitled "Companies Act 2006 CHAPTER 46"
Gulp...

I got this from SJD a while back...
"As of New Years Eve, clients should ensure that their websites, business letters, order forms etc contain the company's full name and its place of registration, company number and registered office.
These would normally be included anyway but now those who don’t will now be liable to a fine.
This may well also apply to emails, which can be interpreted as a "business letter". Therefore best advice is to ensure that all emails sent contain these details in the standard rubric at the end."
So yes, I have it all at the end of my emails now.
I wonder if we should be puttnig it all at the end of our posts too?
