The bankruptcy notice says that for a meeting to be held they must receive a certain percentage of proofs of claim within 30 days of the bankruptcy filing requesting such a meeting. But there does not otherwise appear to be any deadline for filing proofs generally, and neither Google nor the Act appear to suggest one. <br> <br> We are not a huge creditor and don't have much hope in recovery, so I don't care to request a meeting; I just intend to file the proof of claim and go from there. <br> <br> I know you are not my lawyer and are not giving me legal advice; any direction you can provide is greatly appreciated. post:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.120237 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 15:00:33 -0800 AgentRocket bankruptcy law lawyer canada canadian ontario hoser http://ask.metafilter.com/120237/Is-there-a-proof-of-claims-deadline-for-Canadian-bankruptcy-creditors#1720917 Bankruptcies are public record, why not just call the trustee and ask? comment:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.120237-1720917 Wed, 22 Apr 2009 17:32:51 -0800 AV
