International Legal Developments
Canada
In December 2021, the Supreme Court of Canada (the SCC) confirmed the majority decision of the Quebec Court of Appeal (the QCA) in Montréal (City) v. Deloitte Restructuring Inc. (City v Deloitte). In its decision, the SCC rejected the previous QCA judgement in Quebec (Agence du revenue) v. Kitco Metals Inc. where it was held that pre-post set-off was prohibited under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (the CCAA). The SCC in City v Deloitte decided that while pre-post set-off is permitted under the CCAA, it is subject to the court’s discretion. City v Deloitte clarifies that pre-post set-off is possible under the CCAA and also guides courts as to the circumstances under which they may permit such set-off.

United Kingdom
In June 2020, the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 introduced a new standalone moratorium process in England, alongside the restructuring plan and certain temporary measures in response to the pandemic. Over 18 months later, in early February 2022, the English court considered (and clarified) certain of the legislative provisions relating to the moratorium. It was the first time that a case concerning the moratorium was before the court. Click here to read about the Corbin & King matter, and the welcome guidance it provides regarding the moratorium.
