Short Version

Bill PR39 revives the corporation 1082472 Ontario Limited to its legal position prior to dissolution, subject to rights acquired by others since its dissolution.

What It Means

Bill PR39, the 1082472 Ontario Limited Act, 2024, allows the corporation 1082472 Ontario Limited to be revived. The corporation was dissolved on October 8, 2019, due to not complying with a section of the Business Corporations Act. The person who applied for this special legislation, Tom Siu, was a director at the time of dissolution and states that the failure to comply was accidental. The revival is intended to allow the corporation to manage property that was in its name when it was dissolved. The Act states that the corporation is restored to its legal standing as if it had never been dissolved, but this is subject to any rights that others may have acquired since its dissolution. The Act came into effect on the day it received Royal Assent.
