“The ‘reasonable cause to believe’ provision in section 793 of the Companies Act 2006 operated for the purposes of all its subsections, but operated only in relation to the addressee of a notice. Questions directed to a person who had or was believed to have an interest in the company’s shares about the interests of another person had to be questions about interests in the addressee’s shares, not other shares. It was permissible to ask and receive an answer to the direct question ‘Does [the third party] have an interest?’.”
