185: Registrar may restore society to register

You could also call this:

"The Registrar can put a society back on the list if it was removed unfairly."

Illustration for Incorporated Societies Act 2022

The Registrar can put a society back on the register if they think it was removed unfairly. You can ask the Registrar to do this by making an application in the right way. The Registrar can also decide to do this on their own. The Registrar will consider putting a society back on the register if it was removed when it should not have been, or if it was involved in a court case, or if it was being managed by a receiver or liquidator. The Registrar can also put a society back on the register if it was still operating when it was removed and there is a good reason for it to keep existing. This does not change what is said in section 188.
