Short Version

Bill PR26 revives the corporation 592605 Ontario Limited, which was dissolved in 1995, restoring it to its previous legal status and property rights.

What It Means

This is a special law that brings back a company called 592605 Ontario Limited. The company was dissolved (shut down) in 1995. Joseph Thomas Wilson, who is the executor of Eleanor Blanche Wilson's estate (the person who owned the company when it was dissolved), asked the Ontario government to revive the company so he could deal with real property (land or buildings) that the company owned. The law restores the company to the legal position it had before it was dissolved, giving it back all its property, rights, and responsibilities it had at that time. However, this revival does not affect any rights that other people may have acquired after the company was dissolved. The law came into force immediately when it received Royal Assent on December 6, 2023.
