English Legal System: Company Name

In the context of the English law, A Dictionary of Law provides the following legal concept of Company Name : The title of a registered company, as stated in its *memorandum of association and in the companies register. The names with which companies can be registered are restricted (See also business name). The name must appear clearly in full outside the *registered office and other business premises, upon the company seal, and upon certain documents issuing from the company, including notepaper and invoices. Noncompliance is an offence and fines can be levied. Under the Insolvency Act 1986, it may be an offence for a director of a company that has gone into insolvent liquidation to re-use the company name.
