Short Version

Bill PR50 revives The Oakville Players corporation in Ontario, which was dissolved in 1994, and restores it to its legal position with all its former property, rights, and liabilities.

What It Means

Bill PR50 is a private bill that revives The Oakville Players, a corporation that was dissolved under the Corporations Act on November 26, 1994, because it failed to comply with the Corporations Information Act. According to the bill, the organization has continued operating under the name "The Oakville Players" despite the dissolution, and the president, Alex Ragozzino, has requested special legislation to formally revive the corporation. The bill restores The Oakville Players to its legal status as it existed on the date of dissolution, meaning it regains all its property, rights, privileges, and franchises, but also becomes responsible again for all its liabilities, contracts, disabilities, and debts. The bill comes into force on the day it receives Royal Assent, which has already occurred.
