This term has different meanings depending on its context:
• In the context of section 344 of the Companies Act 2006 (independence requirement) in relation to an individual, it means the individual's spouse, civil partner, minor child, stepchild, body corporate of which the individual is a director or any employee or partner of the individual. In relation to a body corporate, it means any body corporate of which that body is a director, a body corporate of the same group as that body or any employee or partner of that body or a body corporate in the same group. In relation to a partnership that is a legal person under the law by which it is governed, it means any body corporate of which that partnership is a director, an employee of or partner in that partnership and any person who is an associate of a partner in that partnership. In relation to a partnership that is not a legal person under the law by which it is governed, it means any person who is an associate of any of the partners.
• In the context of the Insolvency Act 1986, in relation to an individual, it means the individual's spouse or relative (including brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces, and former/reputed spouse), or the spouse of a relative of the individual or the individual's spouse. In relation to a partnership, it means any person with whom the person is in partnership, the spouse or relative of any individual with whom he is in partnership. The term also includes an employee or employer. A company may be an associate of another company if the same person has control of both, or a person has control of one and his associates have control of the other (section 435).
• In the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, this term is used in relation to the disclosure of dealings under Rule 8 and in that context it is intended to cover all persons (whether or not acting in concert) who directly or indirectly own or deal in the shares of the bidder or the target in an offer and who have (in addition to their normal interests as shareholders) an interest or potential interest, whether commercial, financial or personal, in the outcome of the offer. They normally include members of the same group and associated companies, holders of 5% of the equity or voting share capital or convertibles of the relevant party as well as the relevant party's pension funds, directors and advisers.
