Dear Sir,
I read with great interest Timothy Allen's article in
the March issue of the
Gazette
on the Role of the
Modern Document Examiner.
I would, however, like to add to one point that he
makes about identification of typescript. He says that
'the re-insertion of an original d o c u m e n t . . . . results in
failure to obtain correct alighment'. While this is
generally true of traditional machines, with some
modern electric machines, particularly word processors,
it is possible to re-insert so exactly that no method,
however accurate, can detect the difference as I was able
to demonstrate in a recent High Court case over here.
Yours sincerely,
M. Ansell,
Document Examiner.

Dear Mr. Ivers,
I undertook some time ago to keep you informed on
developments at the Companies Registration Office.
We are now providing computer print-outs, which, in
many cases, provide a suitable alternative to an
examination of the company file. Print-outs containing
the statutory register of charges, company names,
registered address, particulars of liquidators and
receivers and unregistered and recently registered
documents, are available for company number 70,000
upwards. Those print-outs will be introduced for all
registered companies over the next two months. Apart
from general efficiency, the print-outs have the
advantage that information is, of course, recorded on
them before being placed on the file.
Details of directors and secretary are available on
print-out for companies with a registered number from
111,267 upwards.
Some users of the Office looking for files have been
seeking the assistance of paper-keeper staff directly
rather than making an application in the proper way.
While there are difficulties in making searches, these
should be alleviated by the computerization program
but can only be aggravated if paper-keepers are diverted
from their assigned duties of sorting and putting away
files. I have, therefore, instructed paper-keepers to
refuse any such requests in the future.
Every effort is being made to provide an effective
service to the public. Maximum benefit is only possible,
however, if full use is made of the new services where
appropriate. I would appreciate it if you would inform
your members of the current measures being introduced
and discourage inappropriate practices of the type
mentioned.
Yours sincerely,
Paul Farrell,
Manager,
Companies Registration Office,
