Foreword

The Cassels Brock Restructuring and Insolvency Group is pleased to present the 2012 Edition of Portable Canadian Insolvency Legislation for our friends in the restructuring and reorganizing community and for everyone else whose path might take them into the area of restructurings and insolvencies, particularly cross-border issues.

Our Portable Canadian Insolvency Legislation is intended to be a handy reference to the critical materials that anyone who is practising in the area or who is affected by it would find useful and necessary. Our intention is to make Portable Canadian Insolvency Legislation a regular feature of the Canadian and international insolvency scene and to make it userfriendly, convenient and comprehensive while at the same time retaining its ease of use as an authoritative reference in fast-moving insolvency and restructuring situations. This edition of Portable Canadian Insolvency Legislation contains all of the major Canadian federal insolvency legislation.

The edition also contains features from international insolvency practice and procedure that are not readily available elsewhere to reflect the growing trend of internationalization of restructurings and insolvencies. To keep the print edition of the Portable Canadian Insolvency Legislation to a convenient and popular size, we will maintain other important and useful items on the electronic version of Portable Canadian Insolvency Legislation. You can easily access and retrieve the Toronto Commercial List Practice Direction, the Toronto Commercial List User Committee's Model CCAA and Receivership Orders, a bibliography of literature and cases under the Uncitral Model Law on Cross-border insolvency and Chapter 15 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, and a current list of major Cross-Border Insolvency Protocols on our website www.casselsbrock/insolvency/portable.

We hope that everyone will find Portable Canadian Insolvency Legislation convenient and useful and we would appreciate comments or suggestions on additional materials that may be useful for our next edition either for the print version or for the electronic version on our website. We would, of course, appreciate comments and suggestions of all kinds from our readers. Please address comments to either Bruce Leonard at bleonard@casselsbrock.com or David Ward at dward@casselsbrock.com. We appreciate everyone's interest and attention to Portable Canadian Insolvency Legislation, a new initiative in the Canadian and international insolvency areas.
