ASSOCIATIONS ACT - SECT 71

Court may declare dissolution of association void

    (1)     If an incorporated association has been dissolved under section 65, the Supreme Court may, on the application of a person who appears to the Court to be interested, make an order declaring the dissolution void.

    (2)     The Court may make the declaration only if:

        (a)     the application is made within 5 years after the dissolution; and

        (b)     the Court is satisfied the association was, at the time of the dissolution, carrying out its objects or in operation.

    (3)     The order may contain any direction the Court considers appropriate for placing the association and all other persons as far as possible in the same position as if the association had not been dissolved, but a direction is of no effect until an office copy of the order is filed with the Commissioner.

    (4)     The applicant must, within 7 days after the order is made or the longer time specified in the order, file with the Commissioner an office copy of the order.

Maximum penalty:     20 penalty units.

    (5)     On filing of an office copy of the order with the Commissioner, the association is taken to have continued in existence as if it had not been dissolved.

    (6)     Without limiting subsection (5), proceedings that might have been taken if the association had not been dissolved may be taken.
