Officer of Corporation Dissolved Pursuant to the Tax Law Is Personally Liable for Corporation’s Lease Obligations

The Second Department determined that defendant, an officer of the defendant dissolved corporation, was personally liable for the dissolved corporation’s lease obligations:

Pursuant to Tax Law § 203-a, the Secretary of State may dissolve a corporation by proclamation for the nonpayment of franchise taxes. Upon dissolution, the corporation’s legal existence terminates and it is prohibited from carrying on new business (see … Business Corporation Law § 1005[a][1]). It retains a limited de jure existence solely for the purpose of winding up its affairs (see … Business Corporation Law §§ 1005[a][1], 1006). A person who purports to act on behalf of a dissolved corporation is personally responsible for the obligations incurred … . Personal liability is not limited to the person who executes a contract on behalf of a dissolved corporation, but extends to the officers of the dissolved corporation … . 80-02 Leasehold LLC v CM Realty Holdings Corp, 2014 NY Slip Op 08805, 2nd Dept 12-17-14
