Davies Insolvency Now, Issue 8
What does a “rolling recession” mean from an insolvency perspective? In this issue of Davies Insolvency Now, we look to the 2022 Q4 data from across Canada for answers.
We also set out the court-supervised arrangement process under the Canada Business Corporations Act, an increasingly popular restructuring tool used as an alternative to a Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act process.
