Are the courts starting to take a more active roll in scrutinizing fees? Will the CRA’s most recent attempt to challenge priming charges succeed?

Join us for an informative 1-hour discussion in which our expert panel considers these questions, together with the implications of a number of significant recent cases. We’ll cover, among other things:

• whether the Supreme Court’s decision in Petrowest went far enough, and the questions it left open;
• recent cases from across the country scrutinizing fees and lawyers’ hourly rates;
• creative new arguments attempting to elevate the status of a judgment creditor above other unsecured creditors;
• conflicting processes proposed for valuing claims in a mass tort insolvency;
• a new attempt by CRA to challenge priming charges; and
• how a court will consider competing CCAA applications brought by a debtor and its lenders.
