Litigation Research

A litigation search is critical to the ‘discovery’ process and should be part of any due-diligence investigation. Of course, litigation searches will reveal active cases pending against the corporation/individual that you are examining in a transaction - the results may have a significant impact on your transaction. If you are suing, where do you stand in line with other creditors? The outcome of these cases may have a significant bearing on the position of the debtor and the value of its assets.

Carswell Legal Solutions conducts litigation searches across Canada in every jurisdiction using the following criteria:
Search the company’s correct name as per the articles of incorporation/amalgamation or amendment. We strongly recommend to search variations of the name as well as any former names may have active filings still pending
Search the individual’s place of residence and the location in which the goods, chattels, lands or tenements are located.
Search in the jurisdiction of corporate head office location. We strongly recommend to also search in the jurisdiction where the corporation holds assets if different than the jurisdiction of its head office
Search all court levels or tribunals, whether- Supreme, Superior, Queen’s Bench, Appeal, Small Claims or any other court across Canada
