Trustee Appointment in Bankruptcy

Summary

This practice note provides a complete guide to the appointment of a Licensed Insolvency Trustee. It looks at how a trustee is appointed and who appoints the trustee. It also provides a checklist of the obligations of a trustee upon its appointment, including what documents need to be prepared, filed and served, and which of these tasks a trustee can delegate and to whom. It further discusses the length of a trustee's appointment and whether a trustee can be reappointed after it has been discharged — Kieran Siddall and Scott Boucher, Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP.
