In the context of Target Canada's CCAA proceedings, the Monitor sought advice and directions on whether to accept amended claims filed by Bell Canada and Bell Nexxia.
Bell sought to increase its original claims by approximately $4.1 million due to inadvertent calculation errors discovered after the claims bar date and after the original claims were admitted.
Target Corporation opposed the amendment.
Applying the Blue Range test, the court found that Bell acted in good faith, the errors were inadvertent, and admitting the amended claims would not cause relative prejudice to other creditors.
The court directed the Monitor to accept the amended claims for review, with Bell to bear the reasonable costs incurred by the Monitor and Target Canada due to the error.
