s 1031 Decision on application for restoration by the court
(1) On an application under section 1029 the court may order the restoration of the company to the register— (a) if the company was struck off the register under section 1000 or 1001 (power of registrar to strike off defunct companies) and the company was, at the time of the striking off, carrying on business or in operation; (aa) if the company was struck off the register under section 1002A (power of registrar to strike off company registered on false basis) and the court considers that, at the time of the striking off, the registrar did not have reasonable cause to believe the matter set out in section 1002A(1)(a) or (b); (b) if the company was struck off the register under section 1003 (voluntary striking off) and any of the requirements of sections 1004 to 1009 was not complied with; (c) if in any case (including a case falling within paragraph (a), (aa) or (b)) the court considers it just to do so. (2) If the court orders restoration of the company to the register, the restoration takes effect on a copy of the court's order being delivered to the registrar. (3) The registrar must cause to be published in the Gazette notice of the restoration of the company to the register. (4) The notice must state— (a) the name of the company or, if the company is restored to the register under a different name (see section 1033), that name and its former name, (b) the company's registered number, and (c) the date on which the restoration took effect.
