Perfect Your PPSA Skills

Originally held on November 10, 2011, the archived conference is now available for purchase either as a video stream with downloadable link to materials; or on CD-Rom (audio archive with program materials).

The Personal Property Security Act is a highly technical piece of legislation which demands that those working with it have a detailed understanding of its rules and requirements. Failure to understand and comply with the Act can have serious consequences for your clients.

Osgoode Professional Development’s 12th Annual Course Perfect Your PPSA Skills has been designed to give you an in-depth understanding of what you need to know to properly protect the security interests of your clients. It brings together a faculty of experienced practitioners who will take you through the PPSA, using practical examples and “hands-on” exercises to explain its requirements. The course will cover:

  • The “what”, “when” and “how” of “attachment”
  • Elements of financing statements, acknowledgements and searches
  • The examination of a PPSA response certificate – is an acknowledgement or discharge necessary for lending transactions?
  • Exceptions to the “first come, first served” priority rules
  • Fundamental registration issues and the latest caselaw relating to them
  • How to protect lender clients against a Crown’s deemed trust claim
  • Elements of an opinion, its purpose, and what is required in order to be able to provide the opinion

You will also benefit from the materials prepared by the instructors for this course, which will be a valuable resource long after the course is over. If your clients are relying on you to protect their security interests, you simply cannot afford to miss this in-depth and up-to-date course.

Plus, if you want to enhance your knowledge on the key provisions of the PPSA, you can attend the Optional Post-Conference Workshop, Applying Key Provisions in Everyday Client Scenarios on November 11, 2011 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. This interactive session will provide a hands-on review of key sections, ensuring you get the most out of this course.

If you also register for Conducting Effective Corporate Due Diligence on November 8, 2011, you’ll qualify for special pricing for both programs.
