In order for a corporation to file an assignment in bankruptcy the Board of Directors must pass a resolution allowing one/some of the officers to do so. If you are the only director then you may convene a meeting and pass such a motion. If there are numerous directors then you will have follow the procedures set out in the company’s operating by-laws.

Call the company directly and ask them. If a trustee is involved they will tell you. If no one answers the phone…

Your other option is to call the closest Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy. This is the government agency that monitors and oversees the bankruptcy process in Canada. You’ll find them on the web or in the blue pages of the phone book.
