OverviewSummary updated

Asbestos Corporation Limited remains under CCAA protection in the Superior Court of Québec (Commercial Division), District of Frontenac, following the commencement of proceedings on May 6, 2025, with Raymond Chabot Inc. as Monitor and recognition obtained under Chapter 15 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The Court of Appeal of Québec denied the Asbestos Parties' motion for leave to appeal the July 30, 2025 judgment maintaining the Amended and Restated Initial Order and rejecting the challenge to the stay in favour of CLMI. A claims process was approved on December 12, 2025, and orders of January 6, 2026 fixed a bar date for existing asbestos claims of September 10, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Judgments issued June 10, 11 and 19, 2026 granted the Asbestos Claims Adjudication Order application and conditioned document access on a Restricted Use Undertaking.

Case update

Asbestos Corporation: the U.S. law firms lose standing a day before the bar date

In the three weeks before the September 10, 2026 claims bar date, the Court of Appeal of Québec refused leave to appeal the asbestos claims adjudication order, a New York bankruptcy judge recognized the bar date orders while listing what claimants had not been told, and Justice Émond held that the U.S. firms acting for more than 115,000 potential claimants cannot be parties in their clients' place.

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.
