Section 252 - Appeal to Tribunal

Restoration of company name: tribunal may order name restored where striking off was unjustified, following procedural safeguards.

Any person aggrieved by a Registrar's order notifying a company as dissolved may appeal to the Tribunal within three years; if the Tribunal finds removal unjustified it may order restoration, after giving the Registrar, the company and concerned persons a reasonable opportunity to be heard. The Registrar may also apply within three years where striking off was inadvertent or based on incorrect information. A Tribunal order must be filed with the Registrar within thirty days, who shall then restore the name and issue a fresh certificate. A company, member, creditor or workman may apply within twenty years for restoration if the company was carrying on business or restoration is just.
