Judgement`s get discharged by filing bankruptcy in Canada
May 11th, 2009 by Questions
I have a personal guarentee on a business loan. The business has now failed and the banks are most likely going to get a judgement against me for the amount owing. If I declare bankrupcy, does this judgement get cleared? The amount of the judgement would be approx. $700,000.

When you file for bankruptcy any of the normal collection abilities your creditors typically have are not longer permissible. There is a Stay of Proceedings, which is essential court permission that requires these collection efforts cease. It is also the Stay of Proceedings that ultimately renders any judgment obtained by your creditors unenforceable. So yes, the filing of a bankruptcy will deal with this judgment as well as any outstanding unsecured debt you may have.
