A judgment in personam upholds a right as against one or more identifiable people
When a company has been struck off it may be possible to make an application to the court to restore it to the register. There are many reasons for restoring a company to the register, including (1) to enable a claim to be brought against the company, (2) to deal with property which the company still owned when it was struck off and dissolved, which has now vested as bona vacantia, and (3) where the company was struck off by the Registrar whilst the it was still carrying on business. Where a company has been struck off the register at the instigation of the Registrar of Companies pursuant to CA 2006, ss 1000 or 1001, the applicant should consider whether or not the company could be restored using the simpler and quicker administrative restoration route instead of the court procedure.
