400: Companies restored to register or that have ceased to be in liquidation may be reregistered

You could also call this:

“Companies brought back or finished liquidating may need to re-register”

If you had a company that was put back on the register or finished being in liquidation, it might have been automatically re-registered under this Act. This would have happened because of some old rules in the Companies Reregistration Act 1993.

Even though that old Act has been cancelled, some parts of it still work for these companies. These parts include rules about how to re-register and what happens after a company is re-registered. They keep working as if the Companies Amendment Act 2013 never happened.

This means if your company was restored to the register or finished being in liquidation, you might still need to follow some of these old rules to get properly re-registered.
