Administrative restoration definition

What does Administrative restoration mean? Administrative restoration is the out-of-court process for putting a struck-off company back on the register so it can trade, deal with assets or bring/defend claims. It is a statutory route (UK: Companies Act 2006; Ireland: Companies Act 2014) and is only available where the registrar of companies (Companies House/CRO) removed the company from the register; it is not available after a voluntary strike-off. England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland follow the Companies Act 2006 regime (in force for this purpose from 1 October 2009).

Administrative restoration of LLPs under the Companies Act 2006: conditions, bona vacantia consent, procedure, time limits and effects (United Kingdom)

Practice notes

Why restore an LLP to the register?

If a limited liability partnership (LLP) has been removed from the register, an application can often be made to the registrar of companies to reinstate it through the administrative restoration process. Typical reasons for seeking administrative restoration are:

the LLP was still trading or in operation when the Registrar struck it off, and
the LLP still owned property at strike-off and dissolution, which has since vested as bona vacantia.

Application of CA 2006 to LLPs

An LLP is a corporate entity created under the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2000 (LLPA). In practice, most rules governing LLPs derive from modified company law rather than partnership law (see Practice Note: The nature of a limited liability partnership and its legal framework). The Limited Liability Partnerships (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2009 set out which provisions of the Companies Act 2006 (CA 2006) apply to LLPs, with suitable modifications, including those dealing with administrative restoration.

Tomlin orders in England and Wales: CPR guidance on drafting, confidentiality, approval, variation, enforcement, limitation, CCA issues, court-specific requirements, sample wording and precedents

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
