Erratum - Companies Act (2026 Revision) (E2 of 2026)

Summary

This is a formal erratum notice issued by the Cayman Islands government correcting a printing error in the Companies Act (2026 Revision). The error was in Schedule 5, Part 6(e)(i), which sets out statutory fees payable to the Registrar of Companies: the published 2026 Revision had failed to update the fee for filing a plan of merger or consolidation per constituent entity, as it should have been amended by the Companies (Amendment of Schedule 5) Order, 2023. The notice confirms the correct fee is US$1,000 per constituent entity and asks holders of the Act to amend their copies accordingly.

This is purely a corrective/informational notice rather than a substantive change in law or policy -- it restores the fee schedule to what was already legally in force under the 2023 amendment order, correcting a transcription omission in the consolidated 2026 Revision text.

It applies to anyone relying on the printed Companies Act (2026 Revision) as a reference, including companies and their advisers filing plans of merger or consolidation with the Registrar of Companies, who should ensure they use the corrected $1,000 per-entity fee rather than the erroneous figure that appeared in the published revision.

Key obligations

Applies to
