Part 1: Companies House Reform Striking off and restoration to the register Section 71: Requirements for administrative restoration
This section amends section 1025 of the Companies Act 2006. Section 1025 sets out the requirements for an administrative restoration of a company, following the company being struck off from the register under section 1000 or 1001 (power of registrar to strike off defunct company) of the Companies Act 2006.
	The amendment to section 1025 will mean that, as a precondition for making any application for administrative restoration, penalties under section 453 or corresponding earlier provisions (civil penalty for failure to deliver accounts) will need to have been paid, as will outstanding fines or civil penalties payable in respect of the company for any offence under the Companies Acts by the applicant or any persons who were directors immediately pre-dissolution or pre-strike off who will also be directors upon restoration.
