Filing brief
Gumpert: a bare-bones order and four days to fund the restructuring
A 76-year-old maker of pie fillings owing Farm Credit Canada $12.9 million and RBC $4.9 million got a bare-bones CCAA order on September 18 and four days to settle its lenders' dispute; the fuller order of September 22 ranks FCC's $1.25 million DIP ahead of other security, with bi-weekly reporting to RBC.
