Legal English – Peter’s Pills – Lesson 81 – File, Register and Enrol

File, Register and Enrol

Transcript:

Hello!

Today we look at “file” register” and “enrol” and how they can be used.

1. File (depositare)

Meaning: “Filing” refers to the act of formally submitting (presentare formalmente) a document to a court or a public authority for record-keeping purposes (a fini di registrazione). Once a document is filed, it becomes part of the public record. File means that a document or request has been officially submitted and accepted for processing (accettato per l’elaborazione).

Examples

Filing a claim in the court;

Filing accounts with Companies House.

2. Register (registrare)

Meaning: “Registration” involves the entry (inserimento) of a document into an official register that is maintained by a public authority or institution. Online application for registering a company takes 24 hours in the UK, while using a company formation agent is quicker and will take only a few hours on the same day. A registered document usually confers (conferisce) some form of legal recognition or validation and may establish (stabilire) ownership or rights. Registered means a document has been recorded in an official government or public register, which may have legal consequences.

Examples

Registering a property title with the Land Registry;

Registering a trademark (marchio) with the Intellectual Property Office (IPO);

Registering a company with Companies House.

3. Enrol (inscrivere; trascrivere)

Meaning: “Enrolling” typically refers to the formal recording of a document in a specialised or historical register, orders, or legal rolls, often as a legal requirement for certain deeds or documents to have validity or be enforceable.

Examples

Enrolling a deed of trust in the court system;

Enrolling documents related to certain types of land transactions.

Therefore:

Filed: Submitted to a public authority for record-keeping or processing, but not necessarily creating legal rights or recognition by itself;

Registered: Entered into an official register, often conferring legal rights or recognition;

Enrolled: Entered into a formal or specialised register, sometimes as a legal requirement for validity or enforcement, often in specific, legal or historical contexts.

In practice, these terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but they each have specific legal nuances (sfumature) depending on the nature of the document and the legal procedure involved.
