  "account": "Naivas supermarket owners have filed a lawsuit to reinstate Achievo Limited, a human resource outsourcing company that was dissolved in May 2026. The company, identified by its registration number CPR/2013/117634, was struck off the Companies Register on May 29, 2026, according to Gazette Notice No. 8218. The plaintiffs seek a High Court ruling to delay the dissolution, arguing that the company's assets and operations should not be considered abandoned. They also request the Registrar of Companies to restore Achievo to the register, granting it a 60-day window to submit overdue annual returns. Furthermore, the plaintiffs aim to validate all contracts, transactions, payments, and legal actions that took place between the company's dissolution and potential reinstatement. The case is currently under review by Lady Justice Rhoda Rutto in the High Court Commercial and Tax Division, under case number HCCOMMISC/E1022/2026. The plaintiffs have emphasized the urgent nature of the matter and requested the court to issue directions to restore Achievo and its stakeholders to their pre-dissolution state.",
  "summary": "The applicants want the High Court to suspend the dissolution pending determination of the case, arguing that the company’s bank accounts, property and business operations should not be treated as bona vacantia, or property without a legal owner.",
