CANWEST Newspaper Former Employee Claims Representation 

Nelligan O'Brien Payne has been retained by former salaried employees and retirees of CANWEST regarding CANWEST’s recent January 8, 2010 filing for protection under the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA). 

Former employees, retirees and their beneficiaries are particularly vulnerable creditors of the company. Given the discontinuance of severance packages and fixed incomes,  without a representation order former employees and retirees have no ability - either individually or collectively - to pay for the professional representation necessary to represent their interests and have their voices heard in the CCAA proceedings. 

As a result former salaried employees and retirees have joined together to form the Canwest Salaried Employee and Retiree Group (CSER) and have instructed Nelligan O'Brien Payne to apply for a Court Order appointing our firm as representative counsel in the CCAA proceedings for all members of CSER with respect to all issues pertaining to Canwest's insolvency and to seek reimbursement of related legal fees and disbursements from CANWEST.

If you are interested in joining the CSER, please provide us with your name and contact information.  Send all information to cser@nelligan.ca

Home Horrors: How to avoid a home renovation nightmare

The author Pierre Berton once wrote "in the world of the big sell" - of which the home renovation/repair project is certainly a part - "the customer is held in no more regard by the salesman than the salesman is held by the customer. They are engaged in a running battle of wits, and if the salesman is the "shark" to his "prey", the "prey" is variously a mooch, an egg, a sucker or a mark."
