Although we saw a relatively slow quarter in terms of filings, Q3 2021 was full of important and precedent-setting decisions. This quarter’s case law focused primarily on priority disputes, and you may find yourself surprised by the outcomes of these cases.

Join us for an informative 45 minute discussion in which our expert panel shares five significant issues that have dominated the insolvency landscape in the last quarter. We’ll cover, among other things, the following:

• the successful completion of the CCAA proceedings of Groupe Dynamite, and why we probably won’t see too many other cases quite like it in the future;
• the Yukon Court of Appeal’s recent decision in the Yukon Zinc receivership, and the impacts on the priority to be given to remediation costs going forward;
• a priority dispute that arose between an interim lender and the receiver in the receivership proceedings of Accel Canada, and how the Alberta Court of Appeal ruled;
• the Saskatchewan Court’s granting of an initial order in the CCAA proceedings of Abbey Resources despite a finding of an element of bad faith; and
• how a five-judge panel of the British Columbia Court of Appeal recently overturned a lower court decision in the CCAA proceedings of Port Capital approving a sale, and instead allowed the debtor to refinance the project.
