DGSTS Services Group

DGSTS Services Group, formally known as DGSTS Group, a British Columbia-based international engineering services company, was placed in receivership on December 20 on application by RBC, owed approximately $419.1 thousand. RBC also received judgment against the company’s guarantor, DGS Technical Services. RBC had granted the company certain credit facilities under a loan agreement. As security for this agreement, the company provided a general security agreement and two mortgages registered on title to commercial property it owned in Ottawa, Ontario. The company failed to fulfill its financial obligations to RBC under the loan agreement, and the guarantor did not make payment on account of its guarantee to RBC. Following service of the Application Record, counsel for the company advised RBC that refinancing would be available within a week. However, as of December 17, RBC has yet to receive a term sheet with proof of financing or any evidence of viable refinancing. Grant Thornton was appointed receiver. Counsel is Lerners for the applicant and Pelech, Otto, Powell & Ketsetzis for the company.
