Under the PPSA, the general rule is that the first creditor to register or take possession has priority. This rule is different from the rule that applies under the existing law. Currently, if a company created two charges in favour of two separate creditors, it is the creditor whose charge was created first that takes priority(so long as that creditor has registered within the 30-day period required by the Companies Act). The general rule under the PPSA is that first to register or take possession takes priority no matter which charge is signed first. One consequence is that creditors, such as banks, are likely to require registration of a financing statement as a condition precedent to advancing funds to a debtor. 2, record 1, English, - first%20creditor

In these circumstances departments must charge or credit the amounts unilaterally to their own appropriations, using offset accounts assigned to them by the Receiver General. Debtors should not rely solely on creditor billings to establish their PAYE-OGD entries. If invoices are not available, the amounts should be determined by reference to internal data or information from the creditor. Disputed amounts should be recorded at the amount of the expected settlement. The amounts must be auditable. 3, record 4, English, - PAYE%2DOGD%20entry

Le cas échéant, les ministères doivent débiter ou créditer unilatéralement leurs propres crédits des sommes en jeu, au moyen des comptes de compensation attribués par le receveur général. Les ministères débiteurs ne doivent pas se fier uniquement aux factures des ministères créanciers pour effectuer leurs inscriptions CAFE-AMG. S'ils ne disposent pas de factures, ils doivent se servir de leurs données internes ou des renseignements fournis par les créanciers. En cas de contestation, ils doivent inscrire le montant correspondant au règlement prévu. Les inscriptions doivent être vérifiables. 3, record 4, French, - inscription%20CAFE%2DAMG
