    2023-08-18

    Nomination de séquestre et préavis d’exercice : la Cour d’appel devra trancher la controverse?
    2020-05-21

    Une décision récente rendue par la Cour supérieure dans le district judiciaire de Montréal1 s’inscrit dans la tendance jurisprudentielle en matière de nomination de séquestre en vertu de la Loi sur la faillite et l’insolvabilité (« L.F.I. »), soit la nécessité que le préavis d’exercice visé au Code civil du Québec (« C.c.Q. ») soit transmis et expiré préalablement à la demande de nomination.

    Cette décision fait partie d’une controverse jurisprudentielle qui devra être tranchée par la Cour d’appel prochainement.

    2020-05-21

    2018-01-29

    When negotiating a commercial lease, it is in the landlord’s best interest to require that securities be provided by the prospective tenant in order to protect the landlord against the tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under the lease. A frequent cause of a tenant’s inability to perform its obligations is its insolvency or financial difficulties.
