(1) If the Registrar is satisfied that the incorporation of an association
should not have been cancelled, the Registrar may reinstate the association as
an incorporated association.

(2) If a person is aggrieved by the cancellation of the incorporation of an
association, the Supreme Court, on an application made by the person at any
time within 15 years after the cancellation, may if satisfied that it is just
that the incorporation of the association be reinstated, order the Registrar
to reinstate the incorporation of the association.

(3) The order may be subject to any directions and conditions the Supreme
Court thinks fit (including directions in relation to the retransfer of
property vested in the Registrar under section 36F).

(4) On the reinstatement of the incorporation of an association under this
section, the incorporated association is to be taken to have continued in
existence as if its incorporation had not been cancelled.





(5) On the reinstatement of the incorporated association under subsection (1),
any property which may have vested in the Registrar under section 36F is
revested in the incorporated association.
