Filing brief
Mitchell Press: the customer list, for 5% of what it earns
A Burnaby printer founded in 1928 by a Vancouver Sun editor filed a notice of intention on August 31 and is asking the court to approve the sale of its customer list to Dollco Print Solutions Group — no cash at closing, 5% of the revenue those customers generate for three years — along with authority to shut down operations and more time to make a proposal that would preserve its tax attributes for the family group.
