Official Receiver

Canada

In the matter of:
Sidney Charles Schiff
Schiff & Associates Inc.

Directions for Conservatory Measures
(Section 14.03 of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act)

Whereas the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (the Act) provides the Superintendent of Bankruptcy (the Superintendent) with the general power to supervise the administration of all estates and matters to which the Act applies;

Whereas Sidney Charles Schiff (the trustee) is the holder of an individual license as trustee in bankruptcy;

Whereas Schiff & Associates Inc. (the trustee) is the holder of a corporate trustee license;

Whereas during the course of an investigation regarding the corporate trustee Schiff & Associates Inc. and individual trustee Sidney Charles Schiff, the delegate of the Superintendent, Karen Smith, issued conservatory measures with a view to protecting the estates on February 15, 2006;

Whereas the measures previously issued were not directed at files in which the trustees have been discharged;

Whereas in files in which the trustees have already obtained their discharge, there could remain certain actions to perform in order to complete the administration;

Whereas I believe on reasonable grounds that the estates require protection;

Whereas the Superintendent may, for the protection of an estate, exercise the powers set out in subsection 14.03(1) of the Act, in the circumstances referred to in section 14.03(2) of the Act;

Whereas the Superintendent has delegated to me, in accordance with section 14.01(2) of the Act, the powers of the Superintendent as specified in section 14.03(1) of the Act, in the circumstance referred to in section 14.03(2)(b), a copy of which delegation is attached, along with copies of sections 14.01, 14.02 and 14.03 of the Act;
