Case update
Superport Marine: $165,326 above the administration charge
Grant Thornton's Ninth Report on the Port Hawkesbury marine operator sends $436,730 to the Canada Revenue Agency, $817,390 and later receipts to the Bank of Montreal and nothing to Maynbridge Capital, on the assumption that Justice John Bodurtha will lift the administration charge from $250,000 to $415,326 over BMO's objection — a question briefed for a November 2025 hearing and still awaiting a decision when the monitor's counsel wrote to him on August 20, 2026.

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.
