Legal Question in Consumer Law in Canada

Re: Consumer Rights

You need to find out where the petition was filed (the district) and what chapter the petition was filed under, i.e., 7 (liquidation) or 11 (reorganization). Under chapter 7, a trustee will be appointed to administer the case and liquidate the assets for creditors, who, depending on their priority status under the code, may or may not realize a dividend on thier claims. Under chapter 11, the company may continue to operate under the protection of the court in an effort to restructure and emerge from chapter 11 or liquidate through one or more sales of its assets. You should file a proof of claim for $1,600 with the requisite back-up (as a priority creditor having paid a deposit toward the purchase of consumer goods pre-petition) in the case and file it with the clerk of the court where the petition was filed; then hope that at some point you collect a dividend on your claim. Not much more you can do. Good luck.
