Authored by leading experts from across the country, the third edition of Canadian Bankruptcy and Insolvency Law: Cases, Text, and Materials provides detailed and cutting edge commentary on all aspects of Canadian bankruptcy and insolvency law. The presentation of content fosters an appreciation for the intellectual, political, and practical importance of bankruptcy law, and the manner in which it permeates many aspects of modern corporate, commercial, and consumer law. In addition to providing students with an overview of the key issues in contemporary bankruptcy law, this casebook addresses the procedural aspects involved in different types of bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings, and their impact on debtors and creditors.

This edition of Canadian Bankruptcy and Insolvency Law: Cases, Text, and Materials has expanded in several areas to account for recent developments and elaborate upon particular subjects. It features new material on fraud, the objectives and outcomes of corporate restructuring proceedings, liquidations proceedings and asset sales under the CCAA, and developments following the enactment of the new BIA and CCAA cross-border insolvency provisions.

This casebook offers insight into the interplay of social, economic, and legal issues in the development of modern bankruptcy policy, and it is an invaluable resource for law students seeking to understand the actual operation of the Canadian bankruptcy system.

  • Discusses the influence that global interconnectedness has had on bankruptcy policy development
  • Presents a comparative analysis of the approaches taken in other jurisdictions
  • Provides a sequential account of voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy proceedings under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act for consumer and commercial bankruptcies, and commercial restructuring of debt pursuant to the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act
  • Outlines conflict of laws rules governing cross-border insolvencies, and Canada’s adoption of the UNCITRAL Model Law on Insolvency
  • Examines the developments that have been made to regulate the credit counselling industry in various jurisdictions, and the impact of the economic recession on consumer debt levels
  • Offers insightful commentary on how the bankruptcy system balances its policy objectives and operations (i.e. the rehabilitation of debtors and maintaining the integrity and efficiency of the system)
