19. Reservation of limited liability partnership name
(1) An application for reservation of the name of a limited liability
partnership may be made to the Registrar in such form and manner as he
may approve.
(2) The Registrar shall not reserve a name which—
(a) or the use of which, would contravene an enactment;
(b) is identical to a name that the Registrar has already reserved
under this Act, the Companies Act or any other applicable
enactment; or
(c) in his opinion, is offensive or misleading.
(3) The Registrar shall inform the applicant, by such means of
communication as he may consider appropriate—
(a) whether the name has been reserved or not; and
(b) where the name has been reserved, that unless the reservation is
revoked by the Registrar, the name shall be available for the
registration of the limited liability partnership for a period of 2
months from the date the applicant is so informed.
(4) The reservation of a name under this section shall not by itself entitle
the proposed limited liability partnership to be registered under that name,
either originally or on a change of name.
