Case update
A2A: the charge Justice Simard said he could not grant
In November 2024 Justice Simard held he had no power to extend the CCAA charges over property the A2A Group's offshore investors own, and on September 10, 2026 Justice Jones extended the $1,500,000 interim lender's charge and the $3,500,000 administration charge over their interests in six land projects, after 407 of 408 responding offshore investors voted for it and the only opposition, from the director of two Texas LLCs, met a challenge to his standing.
