    The originating summons was dismissed because the defendant company had been dissolved and therefore was a non-existent legal person against whom no order could be made under s25A HCO; consequently s25A could not be invoked to nominate a person to execute the confirmatory assignment and the proper defendant would be the Government/Registrar or the company must be restored under the Companies Ordinance if relief is sought.
