Section 807: Right to inspect and request copy of reports

Companies Act 2006 · 2006 c. 46View on legislation.gov.uk

Part 22: Information about interests in a company's shares

Any report prepared under section 805 must be open to inspection by any person without charge.

If an inspection required under subsection (1) is refused, or default is made in complying with subsection (2), an offence is committed by—

the company, and
every officer of the company who is in default.

A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale and, for continued contravention, a daily default fine not exceeding one-tenth of level 3 on the standard scale.

In the case of any such refusal or default the court may by order compel an immediate inspection or, as the case may be, direct that the copy required be sent to the person requiring it.
