Extent: N.I.

(1) This Article applies if a company or any member or creditor of it feels aggrieved by the company having been struck off the register.
(2) The court, on an application by the company or the member or creditor made before the expiration of 20 years from publication in the Belfast Gazette of notice under Article 603, may, if satisfied that the company was at the time of the striking off carrying on business or in operation, or otherwise that it is just that the company be restored to the register, order the company's name to be restored.
(2A) Paragraphs (2B) and (2D) apply if a company has been struck off the register under Article 603A.
(2B) The court, on an application by a notifiable person made before the expiration of 20 years from publication in the Belfast Gazette of notice under Article 603A(4), may, if satisfied—
(a) that any duty under Article 603B or 603C with respect to the giving to that person of a copy of the company's application under Article 603A was not performed,
(b) that the making of the company's application under Article 603A involved a breach of duty under Article 603B(1) or (3), or
(c) that it is for some other reason just to do so,
order the company's name to be restored to the register.
(2C) In paragraph (2B), “notifiable person” means a person to whom a copy of the company's application under Article 603A was required to be given under Article 603B or 603C.
(2D) The court, on an application by the Department made before the expiration of 20 years from publication in the Belfast Gazette of notice under Article 603A(4), may, if satisfied that it is in the public interest to do so, order the company's name to be restored.
(3) On an office copy of an order under paragraph (2), (2B) or (2D) being delivered to the registrar for registration the company to which the order relates is deemed to have continued in existence as if its name had not been struck off; and the court may by the order give such directions and make such provisions as seem just for placing the company and all other persons in the same position (as nearly as may be) as if the company's name had not been struck off.
