"1000. Power to strike off LLP not carrying on business or in operation

(1) If the registrar has reasonable cause to believe that an LLP is not carrying on business or in operation, the registrar may send to the LLP a communication inquiring whether the LLP is carrying on business or in operation.

(2) If the registrar does not within 14 days of sending the communication receive any answer to it, the registrar must within 14 days after the expiration of that period send to the LLP a second communication referring to the first communication, and stating -

(a) that no answer to it has been received, and

(b) that if an answer is not received to the second communication within 14 days from its date, a notice will be published in the Gazette with a view to striking the LLP's name off the register.

(3) If the registrar -

(a) receives an answer to the effect that the LLP is not carrying on business or in operation, or

(b) does not within 14 days after sending the second communication receive any answer,

the registrar may publish in the Gazette, and send to the LLP, a notice that at the expiration of 2 months from the date of the notice the name of the LLP mentioned in it will, unless cause is shown to the contrary, be struck off the register and the LLP will be dissolved.
