This is an appeal from a Registrar in Bankruptcy's decision to transfer a bankruptcy application from Toronto to Hamilton, based on the debtor's residence.
The Superior Court of Justice found that the Registrar erred in law by concluding the Toronto court lacked jurisdiction.
The court clarified that Hamilton falls under Bankruptcy Division 32, which is administered by the Toronto bankruptcy court, making Toronto the proper jurisdiction for such applications under s. 43(5) of the BIA.
The appeal was allowed, setting aside the Registrar's decision.
