Short Version

This Act revives the dissolved corporation Flight Level Canada Inc., restoring it to its legal position with all property, rights, and liabilities as of the date of its dissolution.

What It Means

Bill PR16 is a special private Act that brings a dissolved Ontario corporation called Flight Level Canada Inc. back to life. John Oakes, who was a shareholder and director of the corporation when it was voluntarily dissolved on July 27, 2022, applied for this legislation to revive the company so he can continue operating it under its original name. The Act restores the corporation to the same legal position it held before dissolution, including all of its property, rights, privileges, and franchises. However, the revival is subject to any rights that other people may have gained after the corporation was dissolved. The corporation also returns with all of its existing liabilities, contracts, disabilities, and debts. The Act came into force immediately upon receiving Royal Assent on May 18, 2023.
