Bill PR48 restores a dissolved company called CIJ Consulting Inc. to its original legal status so its property and liabilities can be dealt with through the estate.
This is a private bill introduced by Ms L. Smith on behalf of Renée Andrea Besson. The bill would revive (restore) a company named CIJ Consulting Inc. that was voluntarily dissolved on January 16, 2024 under Ontario's Business Corporations Act. The company was dissolved because its sole shareholder, Cedric Ivan Jobe, passed away. However, the company still held property at the time it was dissolved. Ms. Besson, who is the executor of Mr. Jobe's estate, is seeking to revive the company so she can deal with this property on behalf of the estate. If passed, the bill would restore the company to the same legal position it had before it was dissolved. This means the company would get back all its property, rights, privileges, and franchises. However, the company would also have to take on all its liabilities, contracts, debts, and other legal obligations that existed when it was dissolved. The bill specifies that any rights that other people may have acquired after the company was dissolved would not be affected by the revival. The bill would come into force (take effect) on the day it receives Royal Assent from the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario.
