    Things You May Not Know About The Farm Debt Mediation Act
    2017-03-16

    National Insolvency Review, February 2017

    Most or all creditors who lend to farmers will be familiar with the Farm Debt Mediation Act, S.C. 1997, c. 21 (the “FDMA”) and the need to serve a notice under the FDMA before taking action against a farmer. However, there are some details of how the FDMA operates that may not be as well-known. This piece will highlight some of those details.

    Planes, Leaves and Appeals: Appeals Under Section 193(c) of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act
    2016-07-04

    “An appeal”, explained one of my law school professors as he stretched out his arms, “is like taking off in a plane. Unless you understand the rules of physics, you won’t get the plane off the ground, no matter what grade of jet fuel is in the tank.”

    Canadian Lender Defeats Environmental Claim
    2016-05-31

    One of the most vexing commercial insolvency issues is the competition between creditors with security on environmentally troubled property and environmental authorities looking for deep pockets to fix the environmental problems. From a creditor’s point of view, a recent Alberta decision is a potential respite from environmental obligations being imposed on creditors of the owners of environmentally troubled property.

    Receiver v. Lessor: Who Gets the Equipment? Limitations on Property Under a Receiver's Control
    2016-06-27

    Court appointed receivers commonly assume control over all of a debtor’s property. In assuming that control, the receiver may collect various pieces of the debtor’s leased equipment, and include that equipment in a sale of the debtor’s assets. Further, the court order appointing the receiver will typically grant the receiver a priority charge over all such equipment for its fees, including the fees of its counsel, and any borrowings it may make in the course of the receivership.

    La subrogation dans une charge prioritaire ne peut s’accomplir sans l’autorisation du tribunal, mais l’autorisation d’en appeler est accordée.
    2015-07-03

    Le 30 juillet 2014, un financement intérimaire est autorisé à être déboursé par Alternative Capital Group («ACG») en contrepartie duquel une charge prioritaire lui est transmise sur les actifs des débitrices Gestion Rer inc., Rer Hydro Ltd. et Hydrolienne Très Saint-Laurent Inc.

    Peu de temps après, suite à la vérification diligente, ACG a cessé d’avancer des fonds aux Débitrices.

    Le 28 août 2014, le Contrôleur met fin au mandat de ACG après avoir constaté que cette dernière n’avait alors avancé que la somme initiale de 371 000 $.
