The Companies Act 1907 (7 Edw. 7. c. 50) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom regulating UK company law, whose descendant is the Companies Act 2006.
One reform made by the 1907 Act was to introduce explicitly a separate set of provisions for "private companies", which stood in opposition to "public companies".
The whole act was repealed by section 286(1) of, and part I of the sixth schedule to, the Companies (Consolidation) Act 1908 (8 Edw. 7. c. 69).
