Section 288 - Dissolution and restoration of companies

(1) Where the Registrar is satisfied that the winding up of the company is complete, the Registrar shall strike the name of the company off the register and publish the record of the strike off in the Companies Bulletin.

(2) The company is dissolved as at the date of the publication of the notification in the Companies Bulletin.

(3) Where a company is dissolved, the Court may

(a) at any time within two years after the date of the dissolution, and

(b) upon an application made for the purpose by the Registrar or by the liquidator of the company or by a former officer, member, or creditor of the company or a person claiming through or under any of them,

make an order, on the terms that the Court considers fit, declaring the dissolution void and ordering the name of the company to be restored to the register.

(4) An official copy of an order made under subsection (3) shall be delivered to the Registrar for registration and the Registrar shall publish the copy of the order in the Companies Bulletin and the name of the company shall be restored to the register.

(5) Where registration and publication under subsection (3) takes effect, the company shall be deemed to have continued in existence as if it had not been dissolved, and for the purposes of a period of limitation the period between dissolution and restoration shall not be counted.

(6) The Court may by the order give the directions and make the provisions that seem just for placing the company and any other person in the same position as nearly as may be as if the name of the company had never been struck off.
