Court application to cure defect in Summary Approval Procedure
The summary approval procedure was one of the major innovations introduced by the Companies Act 2014. It requires, inter alia, a statutory declaration of solvency to be filed with the Companies Registration Office (CRO) within 21 days of the commencement of the "restricted activity". A failure to deliver the declaration on time will result in the activity being deemed illegal and may also result in criminal charges against the company and its officers. Once the 21-day time limit has elapsed then it is no longer possible to file the necessary declaration with the CRO without an order of the court declaring the restricted activity to be valid. That application is made pursuant to section 203(4) of the Companies Act 2014 and we are pleased to offer it on a fixed-fee basis.
