Restructuring and Insolvency in Ontario

Restructuring, bankruptcy, and insolvency in Ontario are primarily regulated by the federal Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (BIA) and provincial statutes such as the Personal Property Security Act (PPSA). In addition, the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) allows corporations facing financial trouble to restructure their debts and continue operating while working out arrangements with their creditors. These laws outline the rights of debtors and creditors and set the framework for debt restructuring in the province.
