Liquidation reopened by court order
A shareholder represented by Daniel Zahavi obtained a court order reopening the liquidation of a dissolved Curaçao company and appointing a liquidator. The application concerned a company that, according to the shareholder’s petition, still held real property abroad. Its dissolved status had become an obstacle to the shareholder’s intended sale of that property.
The documented result was the reopening and appointment. The order did not itself transfer the property, approve a sale price or award sale proceeds to the shareholder. Those distinctions matter when describing what the proceedings achieved.
Addressing an asset left in a dissolved company
The shareholder’s application explained that the company had been dissolved through the Chamber of Commerce while an asset remained registered in its name. The shareholder wanted the liquidation reopened so the remaining affairs could be addressed through a liquidator.
Daniel Zahavi acted for the applicant and submitted the request to the Curaçao court. The petition identified the shareholder’s interest in the company and referred to supporting corporate and property records. The supplied decision records the relief granted; it does not provide a separate detailed judicial analysis of every factual statement in the application.
The court appointed a different liquidator
The court endorsed the application with a signed order granting the request, following supplementation of the documents. The endorsement also changed the appointment: the person originally proposed in the petition was crossed out and another liquidator was appointed. The result therefore should not be described as adoption of every requested detail.
The central objective of reopening the liquidation was nevertheless achieved. The appointment identified who would undertake that work. The available order does not establish the subsequent steps taken by the liquidator, completion of the liquidation or the eventual disposition of the property.
A defined corporate remedy
For the shareholder, the order addressed the corporate obstacle identified in the application by reopening the liquidation and putting a liquidator in place. This was a non-monetary outcome. There is no basis in the reviewed record to assign a recovery amount, claim that sale proceeds were received or describe the company as restored to unrestricted trading.
This matter illustrates the importance of checking a property-holding company’s status before planning a transaction.
