322: Duties of Registrar if objection received
or “What the Registrar must do when someone objects to removing a company from the register”
You could also call this:

“Court can decide if a company stays on the register when someone objects to its removal”

If you object to a company being removed from the New Zealand register for certain reasons, you can ask the court for help. These reasons are listed in another part of the law.

When you ask the court for help, you’re asking them to make an order. This order would say that the company should not be removed from the register.

The court will look at your reasons. If they agree that the company shouldn’t be removed, they can make an order to keep the company on the register.
