Description:
“Kudos to the authors—this is a tough area of law and they have done a good job making it accessible to the students.” — Ardel Johnston, Georgian College "This textbook made changes to the math for calculating pre and post judgement interest. I wanted to give you feedback and say that I got 100% on those calculations on my debtor creditor mid term and I found the breakdowns very helpful in understanding how to do the math (this is coming from someone who has math phobia!!)." — Safa, Law Clerk Student at Seneca College Debtor–Creditor Law and Procedure, 6th Edition covers the laws and processes related to debt collection. Produced to meet the specific needs of legal professionals, this text offers practical insights, realistic examples, and step-by-step instructions, covering the respective duties of paralegals and law clerks in both Superior and Small Claims Courts. As such, it thoroughly outlines commencement of proceedings, obtaining default judgment, documenting debt settlements, schedules for repayment, debt calculations, and debtor remedies. This edition reflects updated regulations governing court procedures, as well as legislative changes at the provincial and federal level, including to the Criminal Code, the Payday Loans Act, and the Collection and Debt Settlement Services Act. New Case-in-Point boxes illustrate how the court deals with various issues
