The Court of Appeal confirmed that the failure of the director of a bankrupt company to record the amount that was ultimately awarded does not constitute civil fault incurring his personal liability

On January 29, 2019, the Court of Appeal, (Case no. 500-09-026698-175), confirmed that the failure of the director of a bankrupt company to record the amount that was ultimately awarded cannot constitute civil fault incurring his personal liability or a valid reason for lifiting the corporate veil.

A Fasken team composed of Dave Robitaille and Marie-Ève Gagnon represented the director of a Tutti-Frutti restaurant in this case.
