    The Debtors' asserted crossclaim lacked substance because their evidence was outdated, speculative or relied on incorrect assumptions (notably a valid hotel licence). Independent professional valuations contemporaneous with the sale supported the sale price on appropriate forced-sale/repossession and market bases. The Receivers acted as agents of Kingsway and the Petitioner was not liable for any alleged undervalue. Therefore the petitions succeed and bankruptcy orders should issue.
