August 18th.....hmm the same day as Essar Algoma bids are due by the impatient sports metaphor judge. Perhaps some announcements after this day will ignite the ring when the steel industry is ready?

Essar Algoma insolvency case approaches finish line

Using a curious mash-up of sports metaphors, the judge overseeing the Essar Steel Algoma insolvency case is urging everyone involved to co-operate and get the thing finished.

"The stakeholders do not need a reminder of the critical importance of pushing the ball across the finish line," Justice Frank Newbould said yesterday in a Toronto courtroom.

"Co-operation is highly desirable," the judge added.......

Instead, the judge scheduled a new hearing on August 18 "at which time a procedure for going forward is to be presented by the applicants and any other interested stakeholders."
