Deposit Return Process

All capitalized terms used in this update have the meaning given to them in the Deposit Return Procedure Order.

On April 7, 2021, the Court issued an order (the “Deposit Return Procedure Order”) which, among other things:

1. Approved the Deposit Claims Process for the identification, quantification, and resolution of claims for the return of deposits to Pre-Sale Purchasers in the 33 Yorkville project;
2. Authorized and directed the Receiver to make an interim distribution or distributions to Westmount, as set out in the Sixth Report, subject to any necessary or desirable reserves as determined by the Receiver;
3. Approved the fees and disbursements of the Receiver and its counsel; and
4. Approved the activities of the Receiver as described in the Sixth Report.

The Deposit Return Procedure Order can be found at the bottom of this page and on the “Court Orders” subpage of this website.
