The situation
A commercial financing client advanced funds to a corporate borrower. After default, the client referred the account for recovery against the corporation and an individual associated with the debt in Dawson Creek, British Columbia.
Our approach
Precision Paralegal Services filed a civil claim against the corporate debtor and pursued the individual for enforcement after learning that the corporation had been dissolved.
When the individual filed for personal bankruptcy, we reviewed the bankruptcy trustee’s creditor package and reassessed the recovery strategy.
With the corporation dissolved and the individual in bankruptcy proceedings, we formally withdrew the court claim.
The outcome
The court claim was withdrawn following the individual debtor’s bankruptcy. No monetary recovery is reported in this case study.
What this case illustrates
A change in a debtor’s circumstances can change the practical value of continuing a court claim. In this matter, reviewing the bankruptcy information helped the client reassess the file and bring the civil action to a close.
