Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 12, § 1-1443. Effective date and effects of termination

A. The filing by the secretary of state of a corporation's articles of termination under R.S. 12:1-1440 or 1-1441 or a certificate of termination under R.S. 12:1-1442 causes the existence of the corporation to terminate on the effective date of the articles or certificate of termination. The effects of the filing of the articles or certificate of termination are not affected by any error in the articles or certificate, but the error may justify reinstatement of the corporation as provided in R.S. 12:1-1444 or the appointment of a liquidator as provided in R.S. 12:1-1445.

B. When the existence of the corporation terminates, the corporation's juridical personality ends except for purposes of any of the following:

C. The termination does not do any of the following:

D. A terminated corporation's juridical personality, and the authority of a person acting on the corporation's behalf as its legal counsel or managerial representative, continues for purposes of Paragraph (B)(2) of this Section as if the termination had not occurred, but subject to the power of an authorized representative of a reinstated corporation, or of a liquidator appointed in accordance with R.S. 12:1-1445, to change the identity or authority of the legal counsel or managerial representative.

E. The existence of a terminated corporation may be reinstated as provided in R.S. 12:1-1444, and a liquidator may be appointed as provided in R.S. 12:1-1445 for any proper purpose. Unless a terminated corporation is reinstated, any action that is commenced by or against the corporation after the effective date of its termination shall be brought by or against a liquidator that is appointed in accordance with R.S. 12:1-1445.
