Bill PR35 revives Winchester Design Build Inc., a corporation that was voluntarily dissolved on July 18, 2023, restoring it to its legal position as of the date of dissolution.
This is a special Ontario law that restores a company called Winchester Design Build Inc. back into existence. The company was dissolved (officially closed down) voluntarily on July 18, 2023, under the Business Corporations Act. The person who applied for this law, Ze Xuan Zhang, was a shareholder and director of the company when it was dissolved. He wanted the company revived so he could continue doing business under its name. The law restores the company to the same legal position it had when it was dissolved. This means the company gets back all its property, rights, privileges, and franchises. However, the company also takes back all its liabilities (debts and obligations) as they existed at the time of dissolution. The law came into force (took effect) on April 25, 2024, which was the day it received Royal Assent (final approval).
