The voluntary or involuntary dissolution of a corporation does not relieve its stockholders, directors, or officers from any obligation or liability imposed on them by law. At any time before final ratification of the auditor’s account distributing the assets of the corporation among its creditors and stockholders, any stockholder of a corporation dissolved by the order of a court may plead on behalf of the corporation all defenses, including limitations or laches, in the same manner as could the corporation or its receiver.
