OBA Insolvency Law PROGRAM | Original Program Date: March 2, 2023

Restructuring practitioners see insolvency matters as most effectively resolved in an ‘single proceeding’ model but the Supreme Court of Canada has held that insolvencies don't necessarily trump arbitration. This program will address the essential question of when does arbitration provide the most efficient and cost-effective resolution of disputes?

At this informative session, learn what the key takeaways are from the Supreme Court's recent decision in Peace River Hydro Partners v. Petrowest Corp. and hear insolvency counsel debate the pros and cons of using arbitration in an insolvency proceeding.

This program will be of interest to insolvency lawyers and arbitrators looking for a practical understanding of when arbitration is the right approach to settle their case.
