Bill PR1 revives the dissolved corporation Sapore Di Calabria Inc. and restores it to its legal position as of the date of its dissolution.
This is a private member's bill that brings back a corporation called Sapore Di Calabria Inc. that was dissolved in 2008. The corporation was voluntarily dissolved under the Business Corporations Act. The person who was a director of the corporation when it dissolved has asked for special legislation to revive it so he can deal with property that the corporation held at the time it was dissolved. Once revived, the corporation will have all the property, rights, privileges, and franchises it had when it dissolved, and will also be responsible for all its liabilities, contracts, disabilities, and debts—but only to the extent that no one else has acquired rights to that property after the dissolution. The Act came into force on March 2, 2023, the day it received Royal Assent.
