This book examines the legal framework that governs bankruptcy and insolvency law in Canada. It is organized in a way that illuminates the structure of insolvency law, its aims and objectives, and its foundational principles. This edition takes into account the recent caselaw on the extensive 2009 amendments to the federal insolvency statutes, and examines several new Supreme Court of Canada decisions. Additionally, new topics, such as the anti-deprivation principle in bankruptcy law and the use of arrangements by insolvent corporations, are introduced. The book will appeal to judges, seasoned insolvency lawyers, and insolvency professionals as well as to students and others new to the field.
