Terra Nova Construction

Terra Nova Construction, a Calgary, Alberta-based construction company, was placed in receivership on May 17 on application by RBC, owed approximately $5.5MM. In addition to its failure to comply with its financial reporting requirements and its failure to advise the bank of any unfavourable change in its financial position, RBC suspected that the company had opened up another bank account for its day-to-day banking with a different financial institution, in breach of its loan agreement. Grant Thornton was appointed receiver. Counsel is McMillan for the applicant and Parlee McLaws for the company.
