Bill PR4 revives Hili Enterprises Ltd., restoring its legal status as if it had not been dissolved, to allow it to file tax returns.

What It Means

This private bill allows Hili Enterprises Ltd. to be revived. The company was dissolved on November 25, 2008. The bill states that reviving the company will allow it to file corporate tax returns with the Canada Revenue Agency, as part of a voluntary disclosure made on June 16, 2011. The company will be restored to its legal position as if it had not been dissolved, but this is subject to any rights that others may have acquired since the dissolution.

  • Restores Hili Enterprises Ltd. to its legal position as of the date of its dissolution, including its property, rights, privileges, franchises, liabilities, contracts, disabilities, and debts.
  • Specifies that the revival is subject to any rights acquired by any person after the company's dissolution.
