Terms Used In Connecticut General Statutes 33-893
- Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
- Corporation: A legal entity owned by the holders of shares of stock that have been issued, and that can own, receive, and transfer property, and carry on business in its own name.
(b) The corporation may appeal the refusal of the Secretary of the State to file the application for reinstatement to the superior court for the judicial district where the corporation’s principal office or, if none in this state, its registered office, is located within thirty days after return of the application. The corporation appeals by petitioning the court to set aside the dissolution and attaching to the petition copies of the Secretary of the State’s certificate of administrative dissolution, the corporation’s application for reinstatement and the Secretary of the State’s explanation of the reason for his refusal to file the application for reinstatement.
(c) The court may summarily order the Secretary of the State to reinstate the dissolved corporation or may take other action the court considers appropriate.
(d) The court’s final decision may be appealed as in other civil proceedings.
