The takeover of the Toronto Star’s publisher by entrepreneurs Jordan Bitove and Paul Rivett has been delayed until at least Friday after competing bidder Canadian Modern Media Holdings requested a stay of the court decision approving the deal. The request for the stay will be heard in Ontario Divisional Court on Friday morning. Torstar had intended to close the $60-million deal with Bitove and Rivett’s company NordStar Capital on Thursday, but announced Wednesday evening that the close would be delayed.
An appeals court has cleared the way for a $60-million takeover of the Star’s publisher by entrepreneurs Jordan Bitove and Paul Rivett.
Lawyers for a competing bid from Canadian Modern Media Holdings had asked the Ontario Divisional Court to issue a stay of Monday night’s ruling approving the takeover by Bitove and Rivett’s company NordStar.
But Divisional Court Justice Michael Penny rejected the request Friday afternoon, issuing his decision via email after a morning hearing. “Having carefully read the material filed and considered the submissions of the parties, I have concluded that the motion for a stay of the order ... must be dismissed.”

Interestingly, the Leafs beat writer, Kevin McGran, is a signatory on that letter. There are lots of stories that DiManno does not treat colleagues well in the newsroom. I've never seen a specific example, but the number of occasions this has been whispered about over so many years (20 years) makes me think there is a kernel of truth.Rosie DiManno can still write sports columns.
Females are underrepresented in sports writing and sports (along with politics) is her speciality.
