On Monday, a judge in Toronto Hudson’s defense of the Bay creditor, which allows Hudson’s creditor to restore the company’s debt and restore financial leg. He started with a smart note about his judge:
“It’s hard not to have a feeling of melancholy while reviewing the application before me” Justice Peter J. Osborne wrote Ontario’s superior justice court. “Hudson’s Bay is the oldest company in North America and the very famous Canadian branch. It was established in 1670. Now is now reluctant and protected from their creditors.”
