The court granted the Monitor's Sale Approval Motion and Ancillary Orders and dismissed the Applicant Companies' motion to terminate/redeem. Core reasons: (1) the Monitor conducted a reasonable, fair and comprehensive SISP consistent with s.36(3) and Soundair principles; (2) successful bidders have standing to be heard; (3) the Applicants failed the threshold 'cash in hand' and transparency requirement—the proposed escrowed financing was conditional on court termination and key transaction documents and parties were undisclosed—so the late redemption could not be trusted to immediately and re…

The court refused to approve a CCAA lease assignment for Cinema Public House Ltd., finding the proposed assignee lacked sufficient evidence of ability to perform and to pay cure costs.
On the evidence the Registrar found that abridgement of notice was appropriate, a $50,000 administration charge under s.64.2 was fair and reasonable, the s.50.4(9) extension (45 days) was justified because the company acted in good faith and was likely to present a viable proposal without material prejudice to creditors, and the s.50.6 factors were satisfied so the proposed $1.1M DIP financing to 4519497 Nova Scotia Limited, on the lender's term sheet, was approved with super-priority; the Registrar declined to modify the lender's commercial terms because the court cannot compel a lender to a…
