329: Court may restore company to New Zealand register
or “Court can put a removed company back on the register if it's fair and right”

You could also call this:

“How companies can be put back on the register after being removed”

If a company is taken off the New Zealand register, it can be put back on. When this happens, the Registrar (the person in charge of the register) signs a notice saying the company is back on the register. Once this notice is officially recorded, the company is restored.

When a company is put back on the register, it’s treated as if it was never removed. This means the company is considered to have kept existing the whole time, even when it wasn’t on the register.
