The CCAA within the Canadian insolvency regime In 1990, the British Columbia Court of Appeal discussed the background behind the introduction of the CCAA in one of its rulings: The Supreme Court of Canada did not have a chance to explain the nature of the CCAA until the groundbreaking case of '' Century Services Inc. v. Canada (Attorney General)'' in 2010. In that case, the Court gave a detailed explanation of the nature of insolvency law in Canada.
