§ 2733.20.

When, in an action in quo warranto, it is found and adjudged that, by an act done

or omitted, a corporation has surrendered or forfeited its corporate rights, privileges,

and franchises, or has not used them during a term of five years, judgment shall be

entered that it be ousted and excluded therefrom, and that it be dissolved. When it is found and adjudged in such case, that a corporation has offended in a matter

or manner that does not work such surrender or forfeiture, or has misused a franchise,

or exercised a power not conferred by law, judgment shall be entered that it be ousted

from the continuance of such offense or the exercise of such power. When it is found and adjudged in such case, that any application for a license to

transact business in this state filed by a foreign corporation, any articles of incorporation

of a domestic corporation or any amendment to them, or any certificate of merger or

consolidation which set forth a corporate name prohibited by the Revised Code has

been improperly approved and filed, judgment shall be entered that the corporation

be ousted from the continued use of such corporate name.
