Struck Off

A company is struck off when the Registrar of Companies removes it from the companies register, typically because it has failed to file annual returns or has ceased to operate.

Striking off is a power under section 744 of the Companies Ordinance. The Registrar may strike off a company it believes is no longer carrying on business. Once struck off, the company is dissolved, but creditors and members may apply to the court within 20 years to restore it.
