Examples of WURA in a sentence
There are three main insolvency statues in Canada: (1) the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (BIA); (2) the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA); and (3) the Winding-Up and Restructuring Act (WURA).
The WURA is a liquidation statute designed to deal with, among other things, the formal liquidation of certain regulated entities including financial institutions and insurance companies.
If the Guarantor LP voluntarily or involuntarily becomes subject to insolvency or winding-up proceedings including pursuant to the BIA, the CCAA or the WURA or if a receiver is appointed over the Issuer pursuant to the Bank Act, it may delay or otherwise impair any realization by the Bond Trustee (for itself and on behalf of the other Secured Creditors) under the Covered Bond Guarantee and/or the Security Agreement.
The WURA contains two sets of provisions with potential application to a Security Document.
Because the WURA applies to limited types of entities and, consequently, liquidations are far less common than bankruptcies, the jurisprudence is not very well developed.
