The Companies (Corporate Enforcement Authority) Act 2021 (the “Act”) was signed into law on 22 December 2021 and, although not yet commenced, it is expected that a commencement order or orders will be made in early 2022.

However, the Act also makes a range of changes to companies legislation generally, on which this briefing focusses.
