Case update
Clarington Esso: a sale approved, and soil contamination at Bethany
Justice Mew approved Grant Thornton's sale of the boarded-up Clarington Esso on July 23, at a sealed price. At the Bethany Esso, where tests found soil contamination and RBC says it is not prepared to fund remediation, the receiver has not taken possession; its request to be discharged over the two Bethany companies was adjourned.

Each row is one filing's statement, copied as it reads and never computed. "Estimated" is the officer's forecast; "Under the plan" is the plan's or proposal's own term; "Final" is a declared or paid distribution; a row with no chip states no footing. A range is the two numbers stated; "of proven claims" is the document's own denominator.
