30 day period

The Bankruptcy act says that the trustee must ask for a court date if there is a objection. The same act says that this court date must be “within thirty days after the day the appointment is made”. If the trustee is telling me that the court date will be 3 or 4 months later because the courts are backed up, do I have any recourse?

The requirement is for the trustee to “apply to the court for a hearing… within thirty days after the date of the appointment.” So your trustee is not doing anything incorrectly, it is simply the court that you are forced to wait on. If anything you may contact your Member of Parliament and express concerns over the backlog in the court system and stress the need for additional Registrars and Justices.
