Company Law Reform Bill [HL]

It is unclear how Amendment No. A204BA would work. Providing for the deemed agreement of members or debenture holders to the use of email is all very well, but what happens if someone does not have, or has not disclosed, an email address? In the equivalent provisions about communications by means of a website the problem is solved by providing for a postal notification that material is available on a website. However, the effect of this amendment would be most unsatisfactory for those without regular email access. We think that Amendment No. A204AA is not meant for and would not work with Schedule 5, since the latter concerns communications to a company only. I hope that the noble Lord will agree to withdraw his amendment.
