Procedural Posture

Application Under S 601 Ah(2) of the Corporations Act 2001 (cth) for Reinstatement of a Deregistered Company / Principal Judgment

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether Vero was a person aggrieved by the deregistration of Nicejade within s 601AH(2)(a)(i) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).' "Whether it was just under s 601AH(2)(b) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) that Nicejade's registration be reinstated." 'Whether alleged limitation bars under the Home Building Act 1989 and the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 precluded reinstatement.' 'Whether Nicejade should be wound up immediately upon reinstatement.']

Ratio Decidendi

Vero was aggrieved by Nicejade's deregistration because the deregistration prevented Vero from pursuing an arguable subrogated claim against Nicejade, and the alleged limitation defences under the Home Building Act 1989 and Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 were uncertain and unsuitable for determination on the reinstatement application. Those matters made reinstatement just, while the asserted absence of assets and liabilities and the directors' opposition to resuming control made it just and equitable that Nicejade be wound up immediately upon reinstatement.

Court Disposition

Orders made directing reinstatement of Nicejade Pty Ltd, dispensing with notification and advertising requirements, winding up Nicejade immediately upon reinstatement, and appointing a liquidator.
