Overview
This third edition of Debtor-Creditor Law and Procedure is the natural consequence of changes in the law, procedure, and practice in this area. The text has been updated to include new material on searches, with a particular emphasis on on line searches of various kinds. The chapters on Small Claims Court practice and procedure have been substantially revised. All the chapters have been updated to reflect legislative changes in areas such as residential tenancies, bankruptcy, and the Rules of the Court. New sections have been added to the text in the areas of consumer proposals, construction liens, the Personal Property Security Act, and commercial tenancies. Examples and illustrations have all been revised for greater accuracy, and to ensure more user-friendly content to clearly and practically explain creditor-debtor practice and procedure.
