Bill PR38 revives The Six Brewing Company Inc., a dissolved Ontario corporation, restoring it to its legal position as it existed before dissolution.
Bill PR38 is a special private bill that revives The Six Brewing Company Inc., a corporation that was dissolved on April 18, 2023 under the Ontario Business Corporations Act. Katherine Lee Falco, who was a director and shareholder at the time of dissolution, requested this special legislation so she could continue operating the company's business. When the corporation is revived, it will be restored to the legal position it held before dissolution. This means it will get back all its property, rights, privileges, and franchises, and will also be subject to all its liabilities, contracts, disabilities, and debts as they existed on the date it was dissolved. However, any rights that other people may have acquired after the dissolution will be respected. The Act came into force on April 25, 2024, when it received Royal Assent.
