You told us how we can help you to provide services in the creditor-debtor area, and your suggestions have directed the development of this major practice manual. Written by noted experts in the field and reviewed by a seasoned editorial board, British Columbia Creditors' Remedies—An Annotated Guide offers more than 400 pages of annotated precedents, with step-by-step instructions to guide you through each type of file and through each type of application in the British Columbia Supreme Court.

This book gives clear, practical explanations of how to commence an action, how to handle prejudgment collections, and how to use execution proceedings effectively. The first part of the book describes how to evaluate and manage collections claims, and includes "Searches at a Glance" charts for efficient assessment of debtor assets. The second part of the book includes practical commentary on key issues in the creditor-debtor area, including injunctions, garnishment, debtor examinations, writs of execution, foreclosures, equitable remedies, receiverships, bankruptcy proceedings, fraudulent conveyances and preferences, guarantee actions, and priorities. A final chapter examines special considerations that apply when acting for the debtor.
