dagger Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Oh My God!!! A house of lawyer's. Where are we going with this now. Are we going to be directed or managed to submission. Your thoughts, Thanks If there is one area where AC excels, it's the legal branch and the firms they hire. Just look at the CCAA process. AC never suffered a serious legal setback in the whole process. They even got the judge they wanted. And now ask Clive... AC's lawyers are tenacious.

Guest gldd Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I think you’re missing my point. Lets start managing this company instead of going to court and CCAA. The next time we are all kicking our lunch buckets down the road (lawyers laughing in the background). What actually saved our jobs thus far is DB and creditors attempting to recover their losses. Not because of good business and managing practices. I do however understand what you are saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
