(a) The board, in lieu of filing the certificate of dissolution, may petition the superior court of the proper county for an order declaring the corporation duly wound up and dissolved. Such petition shall be filed in the name of the corporation. (b) Upon the filing of the petition, the court shall make an order requiring all interested persons to show cause why an order shall not be made declaring the corporation duly wound up and dissolved and shall direct that the order be served by notice to all creditors, claimants, and members in the same manner as the notice given under subdivision (b) of Section 12627. (c) Any person claiming to be interested as member, creditor, or otherwise may appear in the proceeding at any time before the expiration of 30 days from the completion of publication of the order to show cause and contest the petition, and upon failure to appear such person’s claim shall be barred. (d) Thereafter an order shall be entered and filed and have the effect as prescribed in Sections 12628 and 12629. (Added by Stats. 1982, Ch. 1625, Sec. 3. Operative January 1, 1984.)
