H.19, as amended, Priszm Inc. made an application pursuant to the Companies’ Creditors’ Arrangement Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-36 (“CCAA”). The Initial Order contained a stay of proceedings, which was extended by subsequent orders.

2On October 6, 2011, counsel for the respondents wrote to the Tribunal to advise that Priszm Inc. was placed into receivership under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. B-3, on September 14, 2011, by order of Morawetz J. of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List). Counsel advised: “In our view, the receivership has effectively ended this proceeding.”
