How we process your objection

If evidence is supplied by the objector, the Registrar will suspend removal of the company for a reasonable time to allow for the objector to complete their dealings with the company. 

Suspensions granted under section 321(a), (b), or (c) of the Companies Act 1993 will generally be given for 120 working days.  The Registrar will then periodically review the objections by writing to the objector for confirmation the suspension is still appropriate.  If no confirmation is received, the Registrar will remove the company from the register.

A suspension following an objection under section 321(d), (e), or (f) of the Companies Act 1993 can only be given for 20 working days to allow the objector time to apply to the High Court for an order preventing the company being removed or to place the company in liquidation.  The Registrar cannot extend the period of suspension for any objection made under these sections.

When will you hear about the outcome?

You will receive a response as to the outcome of your objection within five working days.  We will send this response either via email or in writing, depending on the method you used to lodge your objection.
