Companies Act 2014 section 725

When Registrar may strike company off register

Section 725 sets out the two circumstances in which the Registrar of Companies may remove a company from the register: involuntary strike off and voluntary strike off.

• The Registrar may strike a company off the register either involuntarily (initiated by the Registrar) or voluntarily (on the company's own application)
• For an involuntary strike off, one or more of the statutory grounds must exist and the Registrar must follow the prescribed notification procedure
• For a voluntary strike off, the company must satisfy the required conditions and the Registrar must follow a separate prescribed procedure
• In both cases, the Registrar cannot proceed unless the relevant grounds or conditions are met and the correct process has been completed
