Bill PR19 revives The Noble House Corporation, restoring it to its legal position as it existed on the date of its voluntary dissolution in April 2014.
Bill PR19 is special legislation that revives a dissolved corporation called The Noble House Corporation. The corporation was voluntarily dissolved on April 22, 2014. James Noble, who was the corporation's president, secretary, and sole director when it dissolved, requested this legislation to revive the corporation so he could deal with certain property that was held in the corporation's name at the time it was dissolved. When the corporation is revived, it will be restored to the same legal position it had on the date of dissolution. This means it gets back all of its property, rights, privileges, and franchises. However, it also takes back all of its liabilities, contracts, disabilities, and debts as they existed at the time of dissolution. The revival is subject to any rights that other people may have acquired after the corporation was dissolved. The Act came into force on December 6, 2023, the date it received Royal Assent.
