As jim shortt originally provided Duncan White iba documents in order for Duncan White to register iba with companies house in 2006, it makes jim shortt directly involved with that company.

Clearly the iba traded in the UK since 2006. Is everyone agreed to those 2 facts?

As company websites are an electronic form of official company documents and correspondence, then the following rules apply: SEE CHAPTER 7 under COMPANY NAMES GBF2

http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/abo...bf2.shtml#four

Would someone confirm for us, if the same rules apply in RoI?? If the same rules do apply, then maybe jim shortt and Duncan White would like to comply with the companies act in UK (and RoI if the same rule applies), by adding relevant legal information to iba websites and provide the addresses in which all iba company records, documents and accounts are held for the purposes of inspection by any member of the general public.

This made interesting reading too: Quote from companies house:

What is the difference between a non-trading company and a dormant company?

A company can be non-trading in the sense that it isn't doing business. But it may still have other accounting transactions going through its books, which means that it is not dormant in a legal sense. A dormant company must not have any accounting transactions except specific allowable transactions that can be disregarded, see chapter 3.

3. Why have a dormant company?

Companies may be dormant for various reasons, for example, to protect a company name, in readiness for a future project, or to hold an asset or intellectual property. Some flat management companies whose main purpose is to own the head lease or the freehold of a property choose to become dormant by setting up a residents' association to deal with any expenses.

A company can remain dormant for as long as necessary - indefinitely if, for example, its purpose is just to prevent the name being used by another company. However, there are expenses associated with keeping a company on the register. In particular, there is an annual document-processing fee payable on delivery of an annual return. The fee is £15 when you submit it electronically, or £30 when you submit it on paper). While the company is dormant, it must still prepare and submit various other documents including annual company balance sheets to Companies House. The company will have to decide how to meet these expenses and who will run the company and be responsible for ensuring that it meets all the legal requirements.

Unquote, Sums up to be NO iba training courses or any other iba business in Uk with jim shortts involvement or anyone else, until Duncan White amends the records at companies house.

Almost forgot to quote this little beauty:

What happens if I do not submit documents to Companies House?

When you are appointed as an officer, you take on some important obligations. If you don’t comply with them, there could be serious consequences. The company's officers could be prosecuted because they are personally responsible for ensuring that they submit company information on time. Failing to do so is a criminal offence. In addition, there will always be an automatic civil penalty for submitting accounts late. Further information about late filing penalties is available in our booklet 'Late Filing Penalties' available on the Companies House website.

The Registrar could also assume that the company is no longer carrying on business or in operation and strike it from the register. If the Registrar strikes a company off the register, it ceases to exist and its assets become Crown property.

On another note,
When jim shortt approved this website for the UK franchise, did he actually take the time to check the spelling:

http://ibauk.com/ContactUs/tabid/80/Default.aspx on the "contact us" page its shows "wecolme... Very professional touch that one..

Has jim shortt recently changed addresses from not a cosey castle in bellingham to this one:
Borrmount Manor Borrmount.
Enniscorthy Co Wexford
Ireland

As that address appears to be most of iba addresses now??

http://ibauk.com/About/IBAWorldWide/...1/Default.aspx

mmmmmm maybe the iba is not actually that international anymore, not that it was anyway

So we are now on chapter 4,,, this could turn out to be a best seller soon, wonder if Steve Spielberg will do the movie --- Liam Neeson as the Baron Shuttlecock, The cast of Eastenders as his family and the cast of it aint half hot mum as his latest students !!!!

RE - trading while listed as non trading, positive we mentioned this before to the lovelies at Swindon College, as well as the tax declaration rules !!! They answered that all was legal and above board --- about as legal and above board as the governments expense refunds -- maybe now is a good time for someone in authority to look at this to take some heat away from the govt....

I would imagine that Companies House has a complaints and investigation department !!! maybe a wee info letter to them would not go amiss,,,

Just a quick non post to keep part IV on my watch list,keep up the good work

Greetings all. Sterling work chaps!

The Borrmount Manor Borrmount. address has featured a few times in the past....I seem to recall it is/was associated with a Golf Club/Hotel in that part of the Emerald Isle.

The Devil is in the Detail, Shortt as you find yourself more bedevilled with each passing day.
