Revive Dissolved Medical Corporation

Summary#

This private bill restores a single medical professional corporation in Ontario. It brings P. Gregor Medicine Professional Corporation back into legal existence after it was voluntarily dissolved in December 2024. The stated goal is to allow the corporation to deal with property it held when it was dissolved and to restore its legal continuity.

• Revives P. Gregor Medicine Professional Corporation on the day the bill gets Royal Assent.
• Restores all the corporation’s property, rights, and privileges as they stood at the time of dissolution.
• Also restores all liabilities, contracts, and debts from before dissolution.
• Protects any rights other people acquired after the dissolution (those rights are not undone).
• Effectively treats the corporation as if it had not been dissolved, for matters as of the dissolution date.

What it means for you#

• P. Gregor Medicine Professional Corporation and Paul Gregor

  • The corporation can operate again and act in its own name.
  • It can hold, manage, or transfer property that was in the corporation’s name at the time of dissolution.
  • Past contracts and obligations resume as if the corporation had not been dissolved.

• Creditors, lenders, landlords, and business partners

  • Claims and contracts with the corporation are reinstated to the position they were in at the time of dissolution.
  • If you gained rights involving the corporation’s former property after it dissolved, those rights are preserved.

• Patients

  • No direct change to medical care or patient rights is identified. This bill concerns corporate status, not clinical practice.

• Government registries and agencies

  • Corporate records would be updated to show the corporation as revived.

Expenses#

No direct public cost is identified in the available material.

• The bill creates no new taxes, fees, fines, or spending.
• Any administrative costs for processing the revival are not estimated.

Proponents' View#

• The bill appears intended to correct a dissolved status so the corporation can deal with property still in its name.
• Restoring the corporation “as if it had not been dissolved” could reduce confusion about contracts, debts, and property titles.
• Keeping the revival subject to rights acquired by others after dissolution helps protect third parties.
• Reinstating liabilities and contracts maintains accountability for debts and obligations.

Opponents' View#

• The bill does not explain why a special act is needed instead of standard administrative revival, which may raise questions about process.
• Retroactively restoring legal status may create complexity in sorting out actions taken while the corporation was dissolved.
• The bill does not specify what property or obligations are involved, so the scope of impact is unclear.
