as to the contents of any such annotation.

No annotation is required in the case of a document that by virtue of section 1072(2) (documents not meeting requirements for proper delivery) is treated as not having been delivered.

A note may be removed if it no longer serves any useful purpose.

Any duty or power of the registrar with respect to annotation of the register is subject to the court's power under section 1097 (powers of court on ordering removal of material from the register) to direct—

that a note be removed from the register, or

that no note shall be made of the removal of material that is the subject of the court's order.

Notes placed in the register in accordance with subsection (1) ..., or in pursuance of regulations under subsection (2) or of any other enactment, are part of the register for all purposes of the Companies Acts.

Regulations under this section are subject to negative resolution procedure.
