Reinventing Bankruptcy Law
Author: Virginia TorriePublisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1487534132
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
Reinventing Bankruptcy Law explodes conventional wisdom about the history of the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act and in its place offers the first historical account of Canada’s premier corporate restructuring statute. The book adopts a novel research approach that combines legal history, socio-legal theory, ideas from political science, and doctrinal legal analysis. Meticulously researched and multi-disciplinary, Reinventing Bankruptcy Law provides a comprehensive and concise history of CCAA law over the course of the twentieth century, framing developments within broader changes in Canadian institutions including federalism, judicial review, and statutory interpretation. Examining the influence of private parties and commercial practices on lawmaking, Virginia Torrie argues that CCAA law was shaped by the commercial needs of powerful creditors to restructure corporate borrowers, providing a compelling thesis about the dynamics of legal change in the context of corporate restructuring. Torrie exposes the errors in recent case law to devastating effect and argues that courts and the legislature have switched roles – leading to the conclusion that contemporary CCAA courts function like a modern day Court of Chancery. This book is essential reading for the Canadian insolvency community as well as those interested in Canadian institutions, legal history, and the dynamics of change.
Canadian Bankruptcy/Insolvency and Companies' Creditors Arrangement Law
Author: Debt and Federalism
Author: Thomas G.W. TelferPublisher: UBC Press
ISBN: 0774867310
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
The legal meaning of bankruptcy and insolvency law has often remained elusive, even to practitioners and scholars in the field, despite having been enshrined in Canada’s Constitution since Confederation. Federal jurisdiction in this area must be measured against provincial powers over property and civil rights, among others. Debt and Federalism traces conceptions of the bankruptcy and insolvency power through four cases that form the constitutional foundation of the Canadian bankruptcy system: the 1894 Voluntary Assignments Case, Royal Bank of Canada v Larue in 1928, the 1934 Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act Reference Case, and the 1937 Farmers' Creditors Arrangement Act Reference Case. Together, they produced the bedrock for modern understandings of bankruptcy and insolvency law.

Category : Bankruptcy
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
Bankruptcy and insolvency in Canada are complex areas of law composed of a number of complementary and sometimes competing and conflicting pieces of legislation, both Federal and provincial, that have developed and evolved over the course of the last century. Burgeoning business ties, especially between the United States and Canada, have created a need for bankruptcy practitioners in the U.S. and around the world to develop a better understanding of the Canadian legal system. Insolvency Law in Canada: A Primer for Practitioners provides an excellent introduction to the judicial, regulatory and legislative frameworks that characterize Canada's legal system, and touches on the major bankruptcy and insolvency themes - bankruptcy, restructurings, receiverships and selected topics - that cross all types of insolvency proceedings. It covers Canada's key insolvency statutes, including the Bankruptcy & Insolvency Act and the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act, as well as a number of other laws that affect insolvent companies, their creditors and other stakeholders. Insolvency Law in Canada is an invaluable resource to both Canadian and non-Canadian practitioners who wish to develop a solid understanding of the law and Canadian bankruptcy practice.
The Insolvency Laws of Canada
Author: Susan M. GrundyPublisher: Juris Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1578232147
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 20
Book Description
International Insolvency has become recognized in recent years as critically important to the flow of international commerce and to the resolution of financial crises that threaten the system. Business failure is as important a part of commercial life as success, and the ability of those who supply credit to protect themselves in the event of insolvency affects not only the cost of credit but a lender’s or supplier’s willingness to supply it. Each volume in this new series has been written by one or more leading practitioners in the area, and has been edited by Howard S. Beltzer, Andrew P. DeNatale and Allan L. Gropper, who have had many years of experience as lawyers engaged actively in cross-border insolvencies. Each volume is designed to give the reader — lawyers and non-lawyers alike — ready access to a comprehensive but non-technical summary of the law of the particular nation. In order to make each volume easily accessible, each country is organized in the same manner. The first part consists of an overview, setting forth a broad outline of the relevant law as well as the country’s general attitude toward insolvency. The second part describes the nation’s forms of business entities and types of obligations that will usually be at issue in insolvency proceedings. The third part deals with consequences of insolvency for businesses. These works are designed to present the law of international insolvency in a practical, non-technical manner that is accessible to lawyers and law students as well as the business community.
