Partnership particulars changed
Name, business, principal place, term, partner, status, contribution or assignment information may require LP6.


Establish the event, authority and effective date before choosing the form
Event-specific diagnosis and filing coordination for LP6 changes, SLP PSC updates, Gazette-dependent events, rejected filings and limited register-correction routes.
A commercial decision, partnership document, Companies House filing and Gazette publication are different acts. Scottish LP changes and corrections identifies the right sequence; it does not create consent, settle disputed rights or make an ineffective transaction valid.
Current deadline distinction: LP6 changes are normally delivered within seven days of the change. SLP PSC information follows its separate 14-day statutory regime. Neither deadline should be confused with Scottish LP continuing compliance’s annual confirmation-statement deadline.
you and job recognition
This route is for an active Scottish limited partnership, usually instructed by or with authority from a general partner, that needs an event-driven filing, a PSC update, Gazette coordination, correction analysis or a response to Companies House.
Name, business, principal place, term, partner, status, contribution or assignment information may require LP6.
An individual PSC, RLE, ORP, nature of control or statutory PSC statement has changed.
A filing was rejected, an accepted document contains an inaccuracy, or Scottish LP continuing compliance found an outstanding prerequisite filing.
Disputed authority, ownership, partner rights, PFLP status, foreign capacity, insolvency or regulation must be resolved by the correct owner before filing.
Organisation before instrument
Coddan first establishes what happened, when it happened, whether it took legal effect, who authorised it and which registered facts or control conditions changed. Only then can the correct filing and publication sequence be selected.
Current LP6 route and statutory period
The current LP6 is a statement under section 9 of the Limited Partnerships Act 1907. It must be signed by the firm and posted or delivered to the registrar for registration within seven days after the change takes place. The general partners remain responsible for delivery.
Firm name, principal place of business, general nature of business and term or character of the partnership.
Changes caused by death, transfer, an increase in partner numbers, a partner-name change, admission, cessation or movement between general and limited status.
Variation in a limited partner’s contributed sum and an increase in partnership capital, stating non-cash particulars where relevant. Special exclusions apply to authorised partnerships and PFLPs.
The form specifies post or delivery to the registrar. Companies House currently directs all paper documents to Companies House, Crown Way, Cardiff CF14 3UZ. LP6 is not listed in the current upload service, so Scottish LP changes and corrections does not promise an unsupported upload route.
Partner changes and statutory publication
Section 10 of the Limited Partnerships Act 1907 requires Gazette notice of an arrangement under which a general partner becomes a limited partner and of an assignment of a limited partner’s share. For a Scottish limited partnership the relevant publication is the Edinburgh Gazette. For the purposes of the Act, the arrangement or assignment has no effect until the notice is advertised.
The status change must be supported by the underlying legal arrangements, reported on LP6 and advertised as required.
Effectiveness control: do not describe the change as effective for the Act before you rely on the service or submit a filing.
The assignment document, transferor, transferee, share and supporting partner changes must be established before the notice and filings are prepared.
Effectiveness control: the assignment has no effect for the Act until advertised.
The filing consequence depends on the event and status. Gazette publication is not presented as a universal requirement for every partner change.
PFLP and authorised-partnership modifications require separate Private fund limited partnerships or regulatory review.
Separate control-information route
An SLP must investigate and keep its registrable control information current. Partner status, AML beneficial ownership, authorised-signatory status and PSC status are related facts but not identical conclusions. Relevant information must be delivered within the applicable 14-day statutory period; it must not wait for the next SLP CS01.
| Current form | Function | Core distinction | Scottish LP changes and corrections control |
|---|---|---|---|
| SLP PSC01 | Notice of an individual PSC. | Registrant is an individual who meets a statutory condition. | Confirm particulars, date, nature of control and current verification dependency. |
| SLP PSC02 | Notice of a registrable RLE. | A corporate partner is not automatically an RLE; statutory registrability must be established. | Check entity data, governing law, register and control. |
| SLP PSC03 | Notice of an ORP. | Used for another registrable person that is neither an individual PSC nor an RLE. | Establish legal form, governing law and registrable status. |
| SLP PSC04 | Change to an individual PSC’s details or nature of control. | A change of particulars is not a new PSC notice. | Confirm previous and new data, change date and any protected route. |
| SLP PSC05 | Change to RLE details or nature of control. | Entity data and registrability both remain relevant. | Check registry evidence and ownership consequences. |
| SLP PSC06 | Change to ORP details or nature of control. | ORP treatment is distinct from RLE treatment. | Confirm identity, status, date and control condition. |
| SLP PSC07 | Notice that a PSC, RLE or ORP ceased to be registrable. | Cessation of control is not automatically cessation as a partner. | Establish the cessation date and remaining control position. |
| SLP PSC08 | Notification of applicable statutory PSC statements. | Includes the appropriate statement during investigation or where no registrable person or RLE is identified, if factually supportable. | Select only the statement supported by current facts. |
| SLP PSC09 | Update to a previously notified PSC statement. | Updates statement status; it does not substitute for a person or entity form where that is required. | Sequence the statement update with any registrable-person filing. |
Direct or indirect voting rights, rights to surplus assets on winding up, rights to appoint or remove a majority of management, or significant influence or control. The actual facts—not the label “partner”—drive the analysis.
Individual PSCs are now subject to Companies House identity verification and must provide their personal code and verification statement within their applicable 14-day verification period. This is separate from the 14-day PSC-change filing regime. Verification does not replace the PSC form and does not prove authority, beneficial ownership or nature of control.
Residential, full birth-date and successfully protected PSC information must follow the applicable restricted or secure route. Public-upload assumptions must not expose protected material.
Corporate and overseas changes
Where a corporate or overseas partner, controller or registrable entity changes, Coddan may need refreshed evidence proportionate to the event. A simple address update is not treated as an automatic full reconstruction; a new ownership chain, uncertain foreign capacity or changed sanctions risk is not forced through as a routine form.
Material ownership-chain reconstruction, trust or nominee arrangements, new foreign evidence, enhanced KYC or AML review, sanctions concerns and foreign-capacity uncertainty are routed to Scottish LPs with corporate or overseas partners or the relevant professional before Scottish LP changes and corrections prepares a filing.
Correction, second filing and register remediation
Coddan identifies the status of the document and the legal route before resubmission. Companies House can correct, annotate or remove material only within the statutory and registrar-power framework; it cannot decide private ownership, authority or contractual disputes.
Correct the draft and re-obtain approval or authentication. No register remedy is needed because the document has not been delivered.
Address the stated rejection, prepare the appropriate replacement submission and preserve the real event date. Rejection does not authorise backdating.
The current SP RP04 route applies only to inaccuracies in previously properly delivered SLP PSC01–PSC09 documents. It is not a universal correction form.
These routes are limited by statute and evidence. Personal-information protection, registrar rectification and court-dependent remedies must not be conflated.
