The court considered whether to dismiss a bankruptcy application brought by Bioventus, LLC against Trindent Consulting Management International Inc. under section 43(7) of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, in light of Trindent’s prior U.S. Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
The court found that Canadian law allows for concurrent insolvency proceedings and that the statutory remedies under the BIA are not property of the debtor’s estate.
The motion to dismiss was denied, and the bankruptcy application may proceed.
