Involuntary Dissolution - Parent epic for all features and processes

[JohnamLane]

• [ ] Businesses have an obligation to keep their records up to date with BC Registries.
• [ ] If they fail to submit Annual Reports on a regular basis, the Registrar of Companies has the power to dissolve them.
• [ ] This is considered an Involuntary Dissolution.
• [ ] A company would have to have two or more missed Annual Reports to potentially be subject to an Involuntary Dissolution.

Definition - Dissolution = close, or make inactive.

• [ ] This filing would apply to the following business types:
• BC - Limited company
• ULC - Unlimited Liability company
• BEN - Benefit company
• CC - Comunity Contribution company
• C - Continued In company
• CUL - Continued In Unlimited Liability company
• CCC - Continued In Comunity Contribution company
• CBEN - Continued In Benefit company

Rough outline of efforts:

• [ ] Ensure LEAR tracks base data needed (e.g. statuses/states between active and historical, filing dates, etc.)
• [ ] Establish back end job that reviews all businesses and determines next steps in dissolution process
• [ ] Establish King's Printer physical mail integration to send AR reminders and/or dissolution warnings.
• [ ] Create Admin UI that staff can use to kick off a dissolution run.
• [ ] NOTE: there is a delay of dissolution filing as well in legacy.

Story drafting/decomposition to follow.

Next steps:

• [ ] Reach out to policy to confirm our obligation to client in terms of letting them know what's happening.

@danaannab Next steps:

• Book a meeting with Melissa to discuss their Mail integration. (she can forward the invite as needed)
• Book meeting with Entities back-end devs to discuss the status/state requirements (Argus, Jia, Travis, Thor) Check with Dave M before booking Entities resources.

Questions from COLIN meeting: Determine if a client can file alteration, address change, or director change ...or other filing when a business is:

• Frozen
• Not in Good Standing
• In process of dissolution
• etc

If a business done an address change or filing in D1 state are they taken out of D1 state? Do they get a delay in the dissolution process?

Note from Darci: For companies in the process of dissolution, and the client changes any of the registered or records office addresses, if the event trigger date to move to the next stage of dissolution is less than 60 days, then the date is delayed by 32 days.
