Where a company has been dissolved, the court may . . . , on an application made for the purpose by the liquidator of the company or by any other person appearing to the court to be interested, make an order, on such terms as the court thinks fit, declaring the dissolution to have been void.
Thereupon such proceedings may be taken as might have been taken if the company had not been dissolved.
Subject to the following provisions, an application under this section may not be made after the end of the period of two years from the date of the dissolution of the company.
An application for the purpose of bringing proceedings against the company—
may be made at any time; but no order shall be made on such an application if it appears to the court that the proceedings would fail by virtue of any enactment as to the time within which proceedings must be brought.
Nothing in subsection (5) affects the power of the court on making an order under this section to direct that the period between the dissolution of the company and the making of the order shall not count for the purposes of any such enactment.
In subsection (5)(a) "personal injuries" includes any disease and any impairment of a person's physical or mental condition.
