Hudson’s Bay was back in court for a fight with one of its biggest lenders who wants it to terminate a deal it has to sell 25 of the retailer's leases to B.C. billionaire, Ruby Liu. The judge adjourned the hearing "for a short period of time," urging Liu to hire a lawyer to represent her and her plans to buy the leases. Liu signed deals with the Bay in May to buy up to 28 leases in Alberta, B.C. and Ontario, planning to use the properties to open a department store named after herself. (July 15, 2025)
