Law360 Canada (December 3, 2020, 6:22 AM EST) -- Three appeals by Pelletier from five orders of a chambers judge issued during bankruptcy proceedings. In 2014, the appellant and his holding company sold their interests in Pacer, an oilfield construction company, for approximately $59 million. The following day, the appellant stripped the holding company of its assets and transferred $20 million of the sale proceeds to his wife. He subsequently transferred other amounts to Cayman-based trusts and holding companies he controlled and other family members. In 2015, the appellant and his family moved to the Cayman Islands. He moved additional monies to Singapore and Belize. In 2016, Pacer and others brought a claim against the appellant and his company in respect of the sale. In 2019, an arbitration panel found substantial breaches and misrepresentations by the appellant. The appellant and his company were jointly and severally liable for $55 million plus interest and costs, of which they paid $4,000. In 2019, Pacer obtained a bankruptcy order in the Cayman Islands and applied in Alberta to have the holding company declared bankrupt. Cayman orders, including a freezing order, were recognized in Alberta and the bankruptcy representatives in the Caymans were declared representatives in Canada. In 2020, an order absolute was issued in the Caymans. The orders under appeal were comprised of dismissal of the appellant’s application for stays or variations of the initial foreign recognition order, an order annulling the appellant’s personal voluntary assignment into bankruptcy, and an order directing production and examination of three witnesses....
