Bill PR4 revives the dissolved corporation Marbro Holdings Ltd. and restores its legal status, property, rights, and liabilities as they existed on the date of dissolution.
This is a special law that revives Marbro Holdings Ltd., a company that was voluntarily dissolved in Ontario on August 15, 2014. Joel E. Marion, who was a director and shareholder at the time of dissolution, applied for this special legislation so he could deal with real property that the company still held at the time it was dissolved. By passing this law, the company is brought back to life and is restored to the same legal position it had when it dissolved. This means the company gets back all its property, rights, and privileges, but also takes back all its liabilities, contracts, debts, and other obligations. However, any rights that other people gained after the company was dissolved are not affected by this revival. The law came into force on December 11, 2025, the day it received Royal Assent.
