Record 4 2015-09-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Law of Security
CONT

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.

English

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Property Law (common law)
OBS

In general, recording statutes are classified as race statutes, notice statutes and race-notice statutes. Under a race statute, the first person to register his interest gains priority and notice is unimportant. Under a notice statute, notice is all-important and a subsequent taker obtains priority over an unregistered prior interest if, when his interest is acquired, he is without notice. He need not register so long as he is without notice when his interest is acquired. The race-notice statute requires the subsequent taker to be without notice(presumably when the interest is acquired) and to record his interest before the prior holder records. In general terms, the "Registry Act" in Ontario, and the Torrens system of registration are race-notice and race statutes, respectively, although judicial interpretation has blurred this basic distinction.(Anger and Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 1594).

  • Communication and Information Management

OBS

We [the Office of the Information Commissioner staff] stopped using the "cancelled" category in June 2008 when we set up our new intake process. These 28 complaints were cancelled before this change was made. In the past, a complaint was registered upon receipt and then cancelled after we determined that it was not valid under the [Access to Information] Act(for example, when it was made beyond the time allowed, or the complainant withdrew or abandoned it before the investigation began). As of June 2008, we register a complaint once we review it and obtain, where necessary, sufficient information to determine that it is a valid complaint. A complaint that is found not to be valid is now treated as a general enquiry.

Nous [le personnel du Commissariat à l'information du Canada] avons cessé d'utiliser la catégorie « plaintes annulées » en juin 2008 lors de l'instauration de notre nouveau processus de réception. Ces 28 plaintes ont été annulées avant que ce changement ait été apporté. Dans le passé, une plainte était enregistrée au moment de sa réception, puis était annulée si elle s'avérait non valide en vertu de la Loi [sur l'accès à l'information] (par exemple, lorsqu'elle avait été faite après le temps alloué ou que le plaignant l'avait retirée ou abandonnée avant le début de l'enquête). Depuis juin 2008, nous enregistrons une plainte après l'avoir étudiée et avoir obtenu, au besoin, suffisamment d'information pour déterminer qu'elle est valide. Une plainte trouvée non valide est maintenant traitée comme une demande d'information générale.
