Adopted by the contracting parties to the Paris and Brussels Conventions in 2004, this Protocol revises the Conventions so that additional compensation is provided to more people and for a wider scope of nuclear damage. The 2004 Protocol shifts more of the onus for insurance on to industry and establishes new limits of liability which, notably, increase the minimum amount of a nuclear operator’s liability. During 2011, DECC issued a public consultation on how the 2004 Protocol should be implemented into UK law by way of amendment to the Nuclear Installations Act 1965. Following public consultation, the Government issued its response in March 2012. The Nuclear Installations (Liability for Damage) Order 2016 was made on 4 May 2016 and will fully come into force when the 2004 Protocol is finally ratified.

In the case of re-registration of a company, a certificate of incorporation will be issued to reflect the company's re-registered status. Upon the issue of the certificate, the company becomes re-registered and the associated changes to the company's name and articles take effect. The certificate is conclusive evidence that the requirements of the CA 2006 as to re-registration have been complied with. The company's previous incorporation certificates should be retained as evidence of the company's historical identity and status.
