撤销注册、剔除注册与清盘,三者的结果都是把公司解散。
清盘过程包括结算公司帐目及变卖公司资产,以便把净资产分配予公司成员和将公司解散。有关程序载于《公司(清盘及杂项条文)条例》(第32章)第V部。
不营运但有偿债能力兼且符合有关条件的公司(参阅问1及2),可依据《公司条例》第750条藉申请撤销注册而将公司解散。以解散不营运但有偿债能力的公司来说,撤销注册是比较简单、廉宜和快捷的程序。
至于剔除注册,公司注册处处长如有合理因由相信某公司并非正在营运或经营业务,则处长可以依据《公司条例》第15部第1分部,把公司的名称从公司登记册剔除。当公司的名称从公司登记册剔除,公司便告解散。剔除注册是法例授予处长的权力,公司不可申请剔除注册。
Deregistration, striking off and winding up, all of them will result in the dissolution of a company.
Winding up is the process of settling the accounts and liquidating the assets of a company for the purpose of making distribution of the net assets to members and dissolving the company. The procedures are laid down in Part V of the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions)Ordinance(Cap. 32).
A defunct solvent company which meets the required conditions (see Q1 and 2) may be dissolved by applying for deregistration under section 750 of the Companies Ordinance. Deregistration is a relatively simple, inexpensive and quick procedure for dissolving defunct solvent companies.
As for striking off, the Registrar of Companies may strike the name of a company off the Companies Register under Division 1 of Part 15 of the Companies Ordinance where the Registrar has reasonable cause to believe that the company is not in operation or carrying on business.The company shall be dissolved when its name is struck off the Companies Register. Striking off is a statutory power conferred on the Registrar, a company cannot apply for striking off.
