Section 263 — Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act: Delivery of customer name securities
Text of the provision Official document
Where a customer is not indebted to a securities firm, the trustee shall deliver to the customer the customer name securities that belong to the customer. Where a customer to whom customer name securities belong and who is indebted to the securities firm on account of customer name securities not fully paid for, or on another account, discharges their indebtedness in full, the trustee shall deliver to that customer the customer name securities that belong to the customer. If a customer to whom customer name securities belong and who is indebted to the securities firm on account of customer name securities not fully paid for, or on another account, does not discharge their indebtedness in full, the trustee may, on notice to the customer, sell sufficient customer name securities to discharge the indebtedness, and those securities are then free of any right, title or interest of the customer. If the trustee so discharges the customer’s indebtedness, the trustee shall deliver any remaining customer name securities to the customer.
