(Can.) court-supervised Plan of Arrangement

Thanks to Barry T. for quoting the previous ProZ. answer to the Danish question. Indeed, it is compulsory as against voluntary and also binding on minority dissenters.

My only doubts are 1. whether the asker wants a Canadian-specific answer. As in many other countries, the law on insolvency has been extensively reformed in Canada and falls somewhere between the US and the UK and 2. whether this is a private indvidual (UK = deed of arrangement) or corporate process (UK = scheme of arrangement).
Example sentence:

Under the transaction, which will be effected as a court-supervised Plan of Arrangement, Systech has been valued in the range of Cdn.$29.5 million to ...

Note from asker:
1. Yes, Canadian-specific 2. The term is used in Preskriptionslag 5 § 3.

negotiation of a public settlement

Peer comment(s):

disagree E2efour (X) : A public settlement (of what) has nothing to do with debts. Added: the legal term for ackord here is composition or arrangement. You can use a non-legal term if you wish, but settlement by itself covers too many things.

compulsory composition proceedings

See previous answer (Danish) http://eng.proz.com/kudoz/720222

A compulsory scheme of composition (offengligt ackord or tvångsackord) is when a court approves an arrangement for the repayment of debt to creditors.

Vid konkurs och företagsrekonstruktion kan, förutom en frivillig uppgörelse, även förekomma en mera formbunden ackordsförhandling inför rätten, eventuellt med inslag av tvång, ett s k. offentligt ackord (även benämnt tvångsackord).
