Legal dissolution is the termination of a contract or partnership, including business dissolution, contract dissolution, and divorce. Corporate dissolution can occur when a company goes out of business or files for bankruptcy. Termination of contract can restore both parties to their pre-contract state. Divorce terminates the legal marital contact and requires asset division.
Legal dissolution refers to the termination of a contract or partnership in the eyes of the law. There are several types of legal dissolution, including business dissolution, contract dissolution, and divorce. Legal dissolution is usually done at the request of one or both principal parties to a contract, but can be done by court order in some business cases.
A corporate legal dissolution often occurs when a company goes out of business or files for bankruptcy. In most cases, this process involves submitting paperwork to the court to request the formal dissolution of the company. Some of the reasons for corporate dissolution include loss of business, destruction of premises or assets due to a disaster, or even internal disagreements. Sometimes dissolution is done to allow a company to restructure under new management; to build a new business structure, it may be necessary to legally dismantle the original contract.
In some cases, dissolution may be the result of a court order. This may only occur under specific circumstances, which may vary by jurisdiction. A court may order dissolution if a company is found to be in violation of the laws, particularly if it is found guilty of antitrust or fraudulent practices. Some regions also give the court the power to dissolve a company if the board of directors is deadlocked.
Termination of contract can be used to bring a legal end to any type of contract. In general, the court’s responsibility in this situation is to restore both parties to the state they occupied before the contract. This may require the awarding of damages or compensation to one party or the other; for example, if a homeowner has signed a contract with a landscape architect and given him a down payment for services, some or all of the payment may need to be returned before the contract can be formally terminated by the court. If no damages can be awarded to either party, the court can simply dissolve the contract after a short hearing.
Divorce is the legal dissolution of a marriage. Unlike annulment, divorce terminates the legal marital contact entered into by the spouses, whereas annulment confirms that the contract was neither legal nor valid at any time. Marriage dissolution can be a complicated and emotional process that requires the court to divide assets, responsibilities, and duties between the warring spouses before concluding the contract. To file for divorce, at least one spouse must file for dissolution. Divorce can be granted without the consent of the non-applicant spouse, but normally cannot be ordered by the court without the application of at least one partner.
