Short Version

Bill PR41 revives the corporation 2771280 Ontario Inc., which was dissolved in September 2024, and restores it to its former legal status and property rights.

What It Means

This is a private member's bill that revives a specific Ontario corporation called 2771280 Ontario Inc. The corporation was dissolved on September 5, 2024, under the Business Corporations Act. Laxmi Karkee, who was a director of the corporation at the time it was dissolved, applied for special legislation to bring the corporation back to life so she could deal with real property (land or buildings) that the corporation owned when it dissolved. The bill grants this request. Once the bill received Royal Assent on June 2, 2026, the corporation is restored to the same legal position it had before dissolution. This means it gets back all its property, rights, privileges, and franchises, but it also becomes responsible for all its liabilities, contracts, disabilities, and debts as they existed on the date of dissolution. However, the revival does not undo any rights that other people may have acquired after the corporation was dissolved.

  • Restores the corporation to its legal position as of the date of dissolution, including all property, rights, privileges, and franchises

  • Any persons who acquired rights related to the corporation's property or assets after September 5, 2024
Rights, Duties, Or Obligations
