Reinstatement Of A Jersey Company

Introduction

The procedure which governs the reinstatement of a dissolved Jersey limited company is contained in Article 213 of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991. Where a company has been dissolved (either on a winding up or having been subject to a declaration of désastre) or, as we see most commonly, has been struck off the register by the Registrar of Companies in the case of non-filing of an annual return, the Royal Court has the power to, on the application of an interested party, declare the dissolution void and order the reinstatement of the company (the Reinstatement), so that the company is returned to the position it would have been in if the company had not been dissolved.
