However, in common jurisdictions, the court has a discretion for a period of time after dissolution to declare the dissolution void to enable the completion of any unfinished business.
In some jurisdictions, the company may elect to simply be struck off the companies register as a cheaper alternative to a formal winding-up and dissolution.
In such cases an application is made to the registrar of companies, who may strike off the company if there is reasonable cause to believe that the company is not carrying on business or has been wound-up and, after enquiry, no case is shown why the company should not be struck off.
However, in such cases the company may be restored to the register if it is just and equitable so to do (for example, if the rights of any creditors or members have been prejudiced).
In the event the company does not file an annual return or annual accounts, and the company's file remains inactive, in due course, the registrar will strike the company off the register.
Under the corporate insolvency laws of a number of common law jurisdictions, where a company has been engaged in misconduct or where the assets of the company are thought to be in jeopardy, it is sometimes possible to put a company into provisional liquidation, whereby a liquidator is appointed on an interim basis to safeguard the position of the company pending the hearing of the full winding-up petition.
The duty of the provisional liquidator is to safeguard the assets of the company and maintain the status quo pending the hearing of the petition; the provisional liquidator does not assess claims against the company or try to distribute the company's assets to creditors.
In the UK, many companies in debt decide it is more beneficial to start again by creating a new company, often referred to as a "phoenix company".
In business terms this will mean liquidating a company as the only option and then resuming under a different name with the same customers, clients and suppliers.
In some circumstances it may appear ideal for the directors; however, if they trade under a name which is the same or substantially the same as the company in liquidation without approval from the Court, they will be committing an offence under §216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (and equivalent legislation in UK regions).
Persons participating in the management of the 'phoenix' company may also be held personally liable for the debts of the company under §217 of the Insolvency Act unless the Court approval has been granted.

Constituencies of Iceland
Iceland is divided into 6 constituencies for the purpose of selecting representatives to parliament.
The current division was established by a 1999 constitution amendment and was an attempt to balance the weight of different districts of the country whereby voters in the rural districts have greater representation per head than voters in Reykjavík city and its suburbs.
The new division comprises three countryside constituencies (NW, NE and S) and three city constituencies (RN, RS and SW).
The imbalance of votes between city and country still exists and a provision in the election law states that if the number of votes per seat in parliament in one constituency goes below half of what it is in any other constituency, one seat shall be transferred between them.
This has occurred twice, in the elections in 2007 and 2013.
On both occasions, a seat was transferred from the Northwest constituency to the Southwest constituency.
The constituencies are the following:
Data for the table below is current as of the 2017 election:
Macro-Arawakan languages
Macro-Arawakan is a proposed language family of South America and the Caribbean centered on the Arawakan languages.
Sometimes, the proposal is called Arawakan, and the central family is called "Maipurean".
Kaufman (1990) includes the following:
Payne (1991) and Derbyshire (1992) have:
Jolkesky (2016) argues for the following:
According to Jolkesky (op.
cit., 611-616), the proto-Macro-Arawakan language would have been spoken in the Middle Ucayali River Basin during the beginning of the 2nd millennium BCE and its speakers would have produced in this region the Tutishcainyo pottery.
Martins (2005: 342–370) groups the Arawakan and Nadahup languages together as part of a proposed Makúan-Arawakan (Nadahup-Arawakan) family, but this proposal has been rejected by Aikhenvald (2006: 237).
Carmen Cortez
Carmen Elizabeth Juanita Echo Sky Bravo Cortez is a fictional character in the four "Spy Kids" films, portrayed by Alexa Vega.
Carmen is one of two main protagonists (the other being her brother Juni) in the films.
For most of her life, Carmen had no idea her parents were secretly spies.
Carmen's main concern was with her little brother Juni, whom she felt she was unfairly forced to babysit.
She responded by treating Juni abusively.
However, Carmen was also hiding her own secrets: in addition to skipping school to go on outings to the city without her parents’ permission, she also had to deal with wearing diapers because of a bedwetting problem that she was desperate to hide from her brother.
In the first "Spy Kids" film, Carmen and Juni discover the truth about their parents when they are kidnapped.
Though Carmen and Juni fight with each other throughout their adventure, the two of them bond and form a rapport of mutual respect.
Carmen is also influenced by her real uncle Machete, who let her know that he had the same problem with his younger brother, Carmen's father.
She also finds out that her brother had always been aware of her nighttime bedwetting and had kept that knowledge to himself on her mother's instructions.
Carmen also develops a sense of family, and insists that if any Cortezes become involved in missions, then all of them should.
By "", Carmen has stopped calling her brother names, and they are able to work better as a team.
However, problems still arise between them from a romantic interest Carmen develops in Gary Giggles.
Gary however, has mixed emotions for Carmen.
At some events, it is evident that he likes her, and at some events, it looks as if he doesn't, like when he says to Juni that Carmen is a dork.
Juni tries to convince Carmen that Gary is trouble, but to no avail.
Later, Carmen, after a conversation with Gary's little sister Gerti, changes her mind about Gary and convinces Gerti to turn against her father, who has an evil plan for world domination.
In "", Carmen, an experienced hacker, goes on a quest to shut down the Toymaker's evil video game "Game Over", which enslaves its users.
However, she makes it only as far as Level 4, before being kidnapped and held prisoner by the Toymaker.
Juni comes to her rescue and they continue on her quest to shut down the game.
Carmen is absent for most of the movie, and she only appears near the film's climax.
Alexa Vega reprised the role in "" as a supporting character.
Carmen and Juni provide guidance to the new agents, Rebecca and Cecil.
During the gap between the 3rd and 4th film, Juni left the O.S.S., leaving Carmen feeling abandoned and betrayed.
When he does return during the film, the two are extremely hostile toward each other (much like they were in the first film), before eventually reconciling and becoming a team again.
Carmen and Juni reopen the Spy Kids program as its new co-directors.
The enemy is "The Timekeeper", who wants Rebecca's necklace so he can travel back in time to spend more time with his father.
Rebecca and Cecil stop him and encourage him to be good.
Murray Walker
Graeme Murray Walker, (born 10 October 1923) is a semi-retired English motorsport commentator and journalist.
He provided television commentary of live Formula 1 coverage for the BBC between 1976 and 1996, after that of ITV between 1997 and 2001.
During his 23-year run as full-time commentator, Walker became known for his animated enthusiasm, authoritative voice and comical blunders – dubbed "Murrayisms" by fans – during live races.
His commentary voice has been likened to a "screech and resembles a 500cc engine being revved up".
He is regarded by many as the greatest sports commentator of all time.
He retired from full-time commentary after the 2001 United States Grand Prix, but has returned to broadcasting part-time in 2005 and has since made occasional appearances on the BBC, Channel 4 and Sky Sports F1.
Walker was born at 214 Reddings Lane in Hall Green, Birmingham, England on 10 October 1923.
His father Graham Walker was a despatch rider and works motorcyclist for the Norton Motorcycle Company, who participated in the Isle of Man TT.
His mother, Elsie Spratt, was the daughter of Harry Spratt, a businessman from Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire.
In 1925 Walker and his family moved to Wolverhampton when Graham became the Competition Manager for Sunbeam.
The family later moved to Coventry in 1928, when Graham worked as the Sales and Competition Director for Rudge-Whitworth.
Walker's education began with a governess at the family home, followed by spells at preparatory schools around the country.
He attended Highgate School, gaining a Distinction in Divinity.
While at Highgate he joined the School Bugles, learning to play the bugle.
At the outbreak of the Second World War the Highgate School governors became concerned about the possible extent of bombing raids on London, and Walker and his fellow pupils were evacuated to Westward Ho!
in Devon, staying there until 1941.
During this time, Walker rose to the rank of Company Sergeant Major of the School Corps.
Walker was later conscripted into the armed forces and applied to volunteer for tanks, but was required to wait due to the lack of resources supplied by the armed forces.
Walker worked with the Dunlop Rubber Company, which offered 12 scholarships annually and was based at Fort Dunlop.
As part of the evacuation scheme imposed by the British Government, Walker was evacuated to Erdington, living with the Bellamy family at 58 Holly Lane.
On 1 October 1942 he took a train from Waterloo to Wool in Dorset, where he reported to the 30th Primary Training Wing at Bovington, the headquarters of the Royal Armoured Corps.
Walker later graduated from the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, and was commissioned into the Royal Scots Greys.
The salute at his commissioning parade was taken by General Eisenhower.
He went on to command a Sherman tank and to participate in the Battle of the Reichswald with the 4th Armoured Brigade.
He left the Army having attained the rank of captain.
Walker then worked in advertising for Dunlop and Aspro.
Following this, he was employed as an accounts director by the Masius advertising agency, with clients including British Rail, Vauxhall and Mars, for whom they created the slogan "A Mars a day helps you work rest and play"; Walker has repeatedly denied the attribution of the slogan to himself, saying that he was only an administrator on the project.
He did not retire from this until the age of 59, long after he had gained fame as a commentator.
He also briefly competed in motorcycle races himself.
Walker created the slogan "Trill makes budgies bounce with health" – an advertising slogan for bird seed in the 1960s – as well as the slogan "Opal Fruits, made to make your mouth water."
Walker made his first broadcast at Shelsley Walsh hillclimb in 1948.
By 1949 he was commentating on races alongside Max Robertson, although it was not until the late 1970s that each Formula 1 race was given extensive coverage on British television.
He did occasional Formula 1 commentaries during the 1970s, going full-time for the 1978 season.
