Case update
ANS 1993: three daycares closed on August 15
Barred on July 2 from running the ANS 1993 daycares, the interim receiver reported on August 4 that continuing to operate the three centres the debtors ran was not commercially viable. Justice Lew converted the file to a receivership on August 12 and added two related companies; the receiver closed all three centres on August 15.
Filing brief
ANS 1993: the receiver may not run the daycares
Royal Bank of Canada asked the Court of King's Bench to appoint a receiver and manager over six Alberta companies operating five child-care centres in Edmonton and Spruce Grove, on $5.8 million of defaulted debt and a forbearance whose very first $50,000 payment was never made. On July 2 Justice Lema appointed an interim receiver instead — one expressly forbidden from operating the daycares, but holding the keys to every bank account.
