In CCAA proceedings involving shipping companies, the court addressed issues arising from a Claims Process Order and a referee’s report adjudicating maritime claims.
The court held that the referee was best positioned to determine entitlement to costs arising from the claims adjudication and directed that the referee address costs in accordance with the draft order.
The court declined to restrict cost submissions to certain claimants, holding that all claimants should be on equal footing.
A request to reconsider the referee’s decision or to receive further evidence was premature because no formal motion had been served.
The referee’s report was confirmed, the monitor’s eighth report was approved, and the monitor was discharged subject to conditions.
