Acceptance of defective filings: minor defects may be ignored when basic information, signature and filing fee are present. Registrars should accept company filings that contain minor defects provided the basic information is available, the document is duly signed and the filing fee paid; procedural staff must prioritise the essential content and not reject filings for peripheral deficiencies. This liberal approach applies to annual returns-where lists of members and directors at the meeting date are decisive-and to filings reporting meetings or director changes, where the name of the director and the date of appointment or cessation suffice for acceptance.
