This morning, the Supreme Court of Canada granted leave to appeal the Ontario Court of Appeal's decision in Re Indalex Limited (Indalex) that was delivered on April 7, 2010. A hearing is expected later in 2012.

Jay Swartz, a partner at Davies, said:

"We are pleased that the Supreme Court of Canada has agreed to hear the appeal. The Indalex case has major ramifications for Canadian insolvency and pension law and the decision of the Ontario Court of Appeal has created great uncertainty within the legal and business community."
