Withdraw an existing objection
Where notice is given that a company is to be removed from the Register (deregistered) a person may object on one or more of the grounds listed under section 321 of the Companies Act 1993.
Anyone can object to the removal of a company from the New Zealand Register of Companies as long as it is no later than the date specified in the public notice.
