What the filings themselves show — sector by sector, firm by firm, outcome by outcome.
Case update
Cleared by the CCAA court on July 16, the proposed securities class action against Chesswood Group and its former chief executive and chief financial officer now asks the bankruptcy court, in a motion returnable October 1, to lift the s. 69.3 BIA stay as well, pleading that any recovery is limited to Chesswood's insurance; the bankrupt lists no asset of realizable value against $84,222,005.13 in claims.
Case update
The Monitor's Eighteenth Report backs a consensual order, returnable September 25, that would confine the $58,415,496.71 HBC Main RCA to executive pension benefits earned up to a November 10, 2005 change in control, leaving 74 defined-benefit participants with no claim on it, and reserve a second, $454,661.96 trust for the two executives it was settled for.
Case update
With the MuscleTech and Hydroxycut business sold under a reverse vesting order and US$87.1 million paid to the syndicate, the monitor asks the court on September 22 to release the CAD$1,310,000 directors' charge without running a claims process, cut the administrative reserve to US$550,000 and send the rest to the lenders, who are still owed more than US$26.2 million.
Case update
Grant Thornton's motion to wind up RBC's receivership of Suretrust Systems and 11860925 Canada was adjourned on September 17 to September 29, with the respondents opposed, their lawyer at another hearing, and Data & Scientific's servers still in the storage unit they were moved to in April 2025.
Case update
Paragraph 9 of the June 6, 2025 clawback order makes the investor who disputes the trustee's arithmetic bring the application. Sixty-five documents — twenty-eight notices of application and thirty-seven affidavits, numbered 79 to 143 — reached the record together as a result, and they are set down for five days from November 30.
Case update
Nudestix Inc. sold substantially all its assets to a U.S.-based buyer in August 2025 and assigned into bankruptcy on July 22, 2026, stating $23,330 of assets against $7,206,889.25 of liabilities; on September 14 Justice Jana Steele set down a half-day motion for October 16 on which MNP Ltd., as trustee, seeks advice and directions on disclaiming a commercial lease and revoking the appointment of the estate's sole inspector.
Case update
Eight months into the receivership of an Aurora business park owing its lender about $75 million, Albert Gelman Inc. is back in court with a sold retail plaza, one of four unsold industrial condo units, an unpriced sale process for 11.35 acres, holdback reserves recalculated under the Court of Appeal's new KingSett decision, and two purchasers still fighting to get their deposits back.
Case update
Nineteen months after a court approved its first proposal, an Ontario traffic-control company is in its second notice of intention, run since April by a sole director whose own company is listed as a $250,000 creditor, tried to buy the shares, and now holds a $2.1 million commitment letter to be the stalking horse for the business. On September 14 the company asked for a fifth extension; the trustee supports it, and reports $280,000 in unpaid post-filing CRA remittances.
Case update
The receiver of a nearly finished 360-unit Westbank rental building in Vancouver found the builders lien holdback account $895,280.70 short, got OPTrust to top it up with a reserve, and asked for authority to release holdbacks to the trades it needs to finish — only those trades, for now. A concrete supplier and two other lien claimants say the Builders Lien Act does not let a receiver choose which beneficiaries of a statutory trust get paid first, and that they had three business days to say so.
Case update
In May the court said the extension to September 11 "should be the final stay of proceedings." On September 11 Justice Morin extended it again, to November 13, and authorized a second distribution of $5,500,000 to the lending syndicate that had asked for a liquidation instead of the founders' purchase. With $38,807,000 paid against more than $134 million of principal, the orders record that nothing will reach any other creditor. What is holding up the end is an ERP migration and a seized account in Belgium.
Case update
915643 Ontario Inc. held 2.5 acres near the Oakville GO station for 32 years, sold them in 2023 for $53,000,000 to a developer planning 1,895 condominiums, and on April 22, 2026 bought them back from a receiver largely with the debt its vendor-take-back mortgages secured; the receiver's Third Report now asks to be discharged, with $88,383 in hand and the balance bound for the buyer.
Case update
In November 2024 Justice Simard held he had no power to extend the CCAA charges over property the A2A Group's offshore investors own, and on September 10, 2026 Justice Jones extended the $1,500,000 interim lender's charge and the $3,500,000 administration charge over their interests in six land projects, after 407 of 408 responding offshore investors voted for it and the only opposition, from the director of two Texas LLCs, met a challenge to his standing.
Filing brief
A 30-employee Ontario greenhouse manufacturer whose revenue rose to US$12.2 million is a borrower or guarantor on US$342.5 million of its Ohio parent's secured debt; on August 28 Justice Dunphy recognized its Delaware chapter 11 as a foreign main proceeding, along with a US$55 million DIP whose charge reaches its land, and the foreign representative returns on September 18 for bidding procedures that run to an October 6 auction.
Filing brief
A Shubenacadie concrete and restoration contractor filed a notice of intention on August 18 after Canada Revenue Agency requirements to pay garnished its receivables and froze its bank accounts; CRA has since filed a proof of claim for $1,510,559.97, $747,484.77 of it under s. 60(1.1) of the BIA, and MNP, as proposal trustee, supports a stay extension to November 1 while the company brings its tax filings current.
Filing brief
No one else sent a letter of intent for the Etobicoke prepared-meals maker, so on October 2 Freshstone Brands will ask Justice Black to approve a reverse vesting transaction in which its chief executive and only pre-filing secured creditor, Frank Burdzy, credit-bids notes of about $7.73 million for all of its shares, keeping the licences, tax losses and customer contracts the company says an asset sale would put at risk.
Case update
With both businesses sold and $8.4 million paid to RBC, KPMG is holding reserves against three disputed claims, and on September 11 RBC and the receiver answered two of them — Elsasser Holding's claim to a pro rata share of the US$2,397,170 Ripskirt proceeds under a 2024 subordination agreement, and CTG Brands' demand for $961,952.84 over receivables it bought with the Giftcraft business.
Filing brief
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.
Case update
The reverse vesting order that would hand Tree Farm Licence 46 to Gillfor for a $115,250,000 share price would also send 2004 fibre supply contracts with Domtar and TimberWest to a shell. Domtar says its Howe Sound pulp mill, whose indefinite closure it announced on August 20, would then have no realistic way back. The hearing record also holds a rival's $125 million offer and a First Nation's standing $30,780,000 bid for the licence — and, filed mid-hearing, what no one had yet put in evidence: five years of the licence's own numbers, every one a loss.
Case update
FTI Consulting, as receiver, and senior lender MBL ask the Commercial List on September 17 to approve sealed Pierringer settlements with nine of the 13 defendants in their two lawsuits over how Trade X was run, funded by AIG under a directors' and officers' policy whose $4 million limit covers defence costs and judgments alike, with defence costs already past $600,000, and by separate payments from a former chief executive and The CFO Centre Limited. The $20 million claim continues against founder Ryan Davidson alone.
Outcome brief
The Winnipeg denim chain founded in 1977 liquidated its stores for about $20.5 million in net merchandise proceeds and sold its brands to YM Inc. (Sales) for $744,000, and on September 9, 2026 the court authorized distributions to affiliated second-lien lenders owed $20,456,733 in principal at April 28, for whom the monitor estimates about $5.0 million is available.
Filing brief
Within a week of Royal Bank of Canada having KPMG appointed interim receiver of a Lachute stone quarry and sand pit whose accounts a sealed Mareva order had frozen, KPMG shut the site down, citing its cash flow and the regulators' environmental concerns; on September 10 KPMG became receiver under s. 243 of the BIA with power to sell, a $150,000 administration charge and $225,000 of RBC interim financing, against book assets of $7,962,477 and liabilities of $15,504,286.
Carrière Sablière Principale Lachute Inc. and 9403-2216 Québec Inc.
Outcome brief
PwC's three-round sale of the Evergrande-controlled Fairmont Le Château Montebello ended with Westmont's all-cash bid, which was not the highest in the final round but assumed Fairmont's management agreement; on September 10, 2026 Justice Martin Castonguay vested the resort in Westmont's assignee, MB Resort GP Ltd., with the price under seal and Desjardins, owed $17,913,636.48 at July 15, to be repaid from the proceeds without further order.

Case update
The borrowers behind Chroma, a 133-unit rental building at East 2nd Avenue and Scotia Street in Vancouver, made the first payment on their CMHC-insured mortgage loan and missed the second. Five months into the receivership, AlixPartners has taken residential leasing from 57% to 82% and asks the court on September 14 to approve a sale process and a two-brokerage listing at $76,385,000.

Outcome brief
On August 18, 2026, Koehnen J. approved the sale of Grasshopper's Ontario solar portfolio to two Skyline affiliates — the 132 commercial projects to St. Regis Solar Power Corporation as assets, once the receivership had been stretched over 49 more entities, and some 3,200 residential projects to Skyline Clean Energy Limited Partnership by reverse vesting order — leaving lenders owed $159,686,419.93 with what the judge called eight-digit losses; both deals closed on September 10.
Outcome brief
A partly built Burnaby condominium site sold in receivership for $12,000,000 in September 2025. On September 10, 2026, Justice Walker approved Deloitte's last steps — the $282,267 builders' lien holdback paid into court, the developer's 2017 contamination lawsuit assigned to Desjardins as an in-kind distribution — and its discharge, with the first mortgagee's shortfall estimated at approximately $4.7 million.
