Question: If I am being sued, and the plaintiff is awarded a judgement against me – if the plaintiff garnish’s my wages – does bankruptcy in Ontario remove such a claim. Also, does bankruptcy remove any court awarded judgments?
Thank You
Answer: Yes, bankruptcy stops garnishments and judgements, except for court order fines, restitution orders, and child and spousal support payments. Contact a trustee to review the judgment and then can advise you whether or not a bankruptcy would stop it.
