This Ontario private bill revives Rafiga Law Professional Corporation, restoring it to its legal position before it was voluntarily dissolved in October 2023.
This is a private bill from Ontario that revives a law corporation that was previously dissolved. Rafiga Gurbanzade, the sole director and shareholder of Rafiga Law Professional Corporation, applied for special legislation to bring the corporation back to life. The corporation had been voluntarily dissolved on October 18, 2023, under the Business Corporations Act. This bill restores the corporation to the same legal standing it had before dissolution, including all its property, rights, privileges, franchises, liabilities, contracts, disabilities, and debts. The bill comes into force immediately upon receiving Royal Assent. However, the revival does not affect any rights that other people may have acquired after the corporation was dissolved.
