This concise overview outlines the steps and process for reinstating a company to the register by way of the court route under section 1029 of the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006). The court route is mandatory where a company has been removed following its own voluntary application for striking off under CA 2006, s 1003, and in the other situations identified in CA 2006, s 1029. This procedure may equally be pursued when the Registrar of Companies has caused the striking off pursuant to CA 2006, ss 1000 or 1001, although this is less usual because the business may instead qualify for the quicker, more straightforward administrative restoration; see Practice Note: How to restore a company to the register—administrative restoration. For a full analysis of the applicable legislation, case law and steps involved in restoration by court order, see Practice Note: Company restoration—restoration by court order.
