These Rules replace most of the provisions of the Limited Partnerships Rules 1907 ("the 1907 Rules"). In doing so they replace the forms which are to be used for registering limited partnerships, and for registering changes to existing limited partnerships, under the Limited Partnerships Act 1907 ("the 1907 Act").
The Rules do not re-enact rule 2 of the 1907 Rules, which provided for the division of responsibilities between the offices of the registrar of joint stock companies. Such provision is unnecessary as a result of amendments made to sections 15 and 16 of the 1907 Act by paragraph 3 of Schedule 1 to the Companies Act 2006 (Consequential Amendments, Transitional Provisions and Savings) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/1941).
Regulation 3 of the 1907 Rules provided for fees payable to the registrar. The powers to set fees under the 1907 Act were repealed on 6th April 2007 by section 1063(7) of the Companies Act 2006. But savings in paragraph 6 of Schedule 1 to the Companies Act 2006 (Commencement No.1, Transitional Provisions and Savings) Order 2006 (S.I.2006/3428 (C.132)) ("the First Commencement Order") preserved the fees set under section 16 of the 1907 Act (inspection of statements registered) and saved rule 3(a) of the 1907 Rules (fee for original registration). These Rules revoke neither rule 3(a) of the 1907 Rules nor the savings for limited partnerships fees in the First Commencement Order.
An Impact Assessment has not been produced for these Regulations as they have no impact on the costs of business, charities or voluntary bodies.

Rule 3(b) was revoked by S.I. 1972/1040. Back [4]
