Outcome brief
Choice Wholesale Meats: 2877 Dufferin sells, the discharge waits
Three months after TD put a Toronto meat wholesaler and its building into receivership over $1,142,059.91 of debt, Justice Dietrich approved the only offer for 2877 Dufferin Street, sealed its price and let the proceeds run to TD, which expects a shortfall — but declined to discharge Albert Gelman Inc. before the sale closes and the money is paid out.

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.
