The moving party sought an order appointing Representative Counsel and a Non-Union Employee Representative for non-unionized employees terminated by the debtor following its Notice of Intention to Make a Proposal under the BIA.
The motion was unopposed and supported by the debtor and the Proposal Trustee.
Applying the CanWest factors, the court found the non-union employees to be a vulnerable group requiring representation to advance their claims.
The court granted the order, finding it would benefit all stakeholders by streamlining the claims process and avoiding a multiplicity of legal retainers.
