The following provisions apply for the purposes of the Companies Acts.
A document or information authorised or required to be sent or supplied in electronic form must be sent or supplied in a form, and by a means, that the sender or supplier reasonably considers will enable the recipient—
to read it, and
to retain a copy of it.
For the purposes of this section, a document or information can be read only if—
it can be read with the naked eye, or
to the extent that it consists of images (for example photographs, pictures, maps, plans or drawings), it can be seen with the naked eye.
The provisions of this section apply whether the provision of the Companies Acts in question uses the words "sent" or "supplied" or uses other words (such as "deliver", "provide", "produce" or, in the case of a notice, "give") to refer to the sending or supplying of a document or information.
