Bill PR72 revives the dissolved corporation 1833025 Ontario Inc. and restores it to its legal position as it existed before dissolution.

What It Means

This is a private member's bill that revives a specific Ontario corporation called 1833025 Ontario Inc. that was voluntarily dissolved on October 8, 2019. The bill allows David Blevins, who was a shareholder and director of the corporation when it dissolved, to bring the corporation back into existence. When the corporation is revived, it will be restored to the same legal status and position it had on the date it dissolved. This includes all of its property, rights, privileges, and franchises, as well as all of its liabilities, contracts, debts, and obligations. However, the revival does not apply to any rights that other people may have acquired after the corporation was dissolved. The Act comes into force on the day it receives Royal Assent, which occurred on April 28, 2022.
