The debtors, Eureka 93 Inc. and related companies, filed a notice of intention to make a proposal under the BIA.
Two motions were heard: an unopposed motion by the debtors for an interim arrangement order under the Canada Business Corporations Act, which was granted; and an opposed motion by the noteholders (Dominion Capital LLC) seeking an order for document production relevant to an appraisal, cross-examination of Seann Poli, and examination of a representative of the first mortgagee, all in advance of the creditors' meeting to vote on the proposal.
The court dismissed the noteholders' request for examinations as premature, noting that the BIA provides mechanisms for investigation after the trustee's report or by adjourning the creditors' meeting.
However, the court ordered the debtor's appraiser to disclose and produce source documents used for the land appraisals, but declined to order disclosure for a business valuation under the BIA.
