In a 2006 Alberta Queens Bench judgement [Pelkey (Bankrupts), 2006 ABQB 814], the Registrar in Bankruptcy stated that:
A trustee should not rely on the municipal fair market value assessment...it may be acceptable to have two or three real estate evaluations to establish a value or range of values.
A single appraisal report completed by an appraiser designated as a CRA or AACI would generally also be acceptable.
