Hi

Quick sense check – what’s the point in getting it restored? If your FIL has paid the money already, then he won’t get it back even if the judgment is set aside (because the company is bust). If he hasn’t paid the money already, then the company can’t pursue him for it (since it’s been dissolved) and so he’ll never have to pay. Isn’t that good enough? Why go to the trouble of attacking the judgment itself?

Anyway. You can’t bring a claim against a company which has been dissolved because it doesn’t exist any more. So I guess that the DJ was right to say that you can’t bring an application against a dissolved company either, even though it was the original claimant, and that it therefore needs to be restored if you want the judgment set aside. There’s a guide to the process here User Posted Link Doesn’t look completely straightforward I’m afraid.
