What are the formalities for using a registered society seal?

What are the formalities for using a registered society seal? Where a company has a seal and it is being utilised, practitioners must ensure that it complies with the relevant section of the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006). However, note that not all companies have a company seal and even companies that do have seals are not obliged to execute simple documents under seal. CA 2006, s 45(2) further states that company seals are required to have the company's name clearly and legibly inscribed on them. Failure to comply with this requirement results in a criminal offence being committed by the company and each of its officers (CA 2006, s 45(3)). Where execution using the company seal is adopted, the common seal will normally be affixed to the deed in the presence of the company secretary and one director, or two directors, who attest the sealing by countersigning the deed and describing themselves by their respective offices. Additionally, if a seal is to be used for...

How do you bring a claim to enforce a contract against a co-operative and community benefit society which has been cancelled by the Financial Conduct Authority? The contract was entered into before cancellation and it is not possible to identify the members of the society. Once registered, a co-operative or community benefit society (a registered society) is a body corporate with limited liability and its own legal personality. It is owned by its members who hold shares in the society. It may sue and be sued in its registered name, and it has power to hold land and invest funds (subject to the terms of its registered rules). A registered society is similar in a number of ways to a company limited by shares, but it is not registered via Companies House and the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006) does not apply. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is the registering authority for societies registered under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014 (CCBSA 2014). The FCA has powers to...
