         This statement  relates to the Common Shares, no par value (the "Common
Shares"),  of Moore Corporation Limited, a corporation  organized under the laws
of Ontario,  Canada (the  "Issuer"),  which are issuable upon  conversion of the
8.70%  Subordinated  Convertible  Debenture  of the  Issuer  (the  "Debentures")
directly  owned by Chancery  Lane/GSC  Investors L.P. (the  "Partnership").  The
principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 1 First Canadian Place,
P.O. Box 78, Toronto, Ontario, M5X 1G5, Canada.


ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

         This statement is filed jointly by the Partnership, CLGI, Inc. ("CLGI")

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

         On December 21, 2000, the  Partnership  purchased the Debentures for an
aggregate purchase price of $70,500,000. As of December 21, 2000, the Debentures
were  convertible  into  21,692,307  Common Shares at a rate of $3.25 per share,
subject to  adjustment  as described  in the  Debentures.  Those  Common  Shares
represented  (on  December  21,  2000) 19.7% of the  outstanding  Common  Shares
(assuming  conversion  in full of the  Debentures).  The source of funds for the
purchase of the  Debentures  was the  purchase of  partnership  interests in the
Partnership by CLGI (its general partner) and the limited partners.

         The  Debentures  were  purchased  by the  Partnership  pursuant  to the
Debenture  Purchase  Agreement  dated as of December 12, 2000 by and between the
Issuer and the Partnership.  The Debenture Purchase Agreement and the Debentures
are attached hereto as Exhibits 1 and 2, respectively.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         The  Partnership  purchased the  Debentures  for  investment  purposes.
Pursuant to the Debenture Purchase Agreement,  the Issuer caused Mr. Ammon to be
appointed  as of December  21, 2000 as a member of the Board of Directors of the
Issuer for the current  term of the Issuer's  Board of Directors  and the Issuer
also  agreed  to cause  Mr.  Ammon's  nomination  for  election  to the Board of
Directors  at each  subsequent  meeting of the  Issuer's  shareholders  to elect
directors. In addition, pursuant to the Debenture Purchase

<PAGE>

Agreement,  the Issuer  caused  Alfred C. Eckert  III, a managing  member of the
general partner of certain limited  partners of the  Partnership,  and Robert G.
Burton, a limited partner of the Partnership, to be appointed as of December 21,
2000 as  additional  members of the Issuer's  Board of Directors for the current
term of the  Issuer's  Board of  Directors  and the Issuer  also agreed to cause
their  nominations  for election to the Board of  Directors  at each  subsequent
meeting  of the  Issuer's  shareholders  to  elect  directors.  Pursuant  to the
Debenture Purchase Agreement, Mr. Burton also became the Chief Executive Officer
of the  Issuer  concurrently  with  his  appointment  to the  Issuer's  Board of
Directors. In connection with the Partnership's purchase of the Debentures,  two
additional  independent  directors  were  appointed  to the  Issuer's  Board  of
Directors.

         As a director of the Issuer,  Mr. Ammon will participate in meetings of
the Board of Directors of the Issuer and in the course of such participation may
from  time to time  participate  in  matters  to  develop  or  suggest  plans or
proposals  which relate to or would result in any of the actions or transactions
enumerated in Item 4, clauses (a)-(j), of Schedule 13D.

         Other  than as set  forth  in this  item 4 and in items 5 and 6 of this
statement  on  Schedule  13D,  the  reporting  persons  do not have any plans or
proposals  which relate to or would result in any of the actions or transactions
enumerated in Item 4, clauses (a) through (j), of Schedule 13D.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         The Partnership directly owns all the Debentures.  The Partnership does
not own any Common Shares,  but because the Debentures  were (as of December 21,
2000) convertible into 21,692,307  Common Shares,  the Partnership may be deemed
to  beneficially   own  such  Common  Shares.   Those  Common  Shares  represent
approximately  19.7% of the outstanding Common Shares of the Issuer,  based on a
total of  88,456,940  Common  Shares  outstanding  as of December 21, 2000.  The
Partnership  may be deemed to have  shared  power to vote or direct the vote and
shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of 21,692,307 Common Shares.

         CLGI, as the general partner of the Partnership,  and Mr. Ammon, as the
sole  shareholder  of CLGI,  may be deemed to  beneficially  own the  21,692,307
Common Shares,  or 19.7%,  owned by the  Partnership and to have shared power to
vote or direct the vote and shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of
those Common Shares.


<PAGE>

         The only transaction by the reporting  persons in the Common Shares was
the purchase of the Debentures described in Item 3.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
         TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         The Partnership  has entered into the  Registration  Rights  Agreement,
dated as of December 21, 2000, between the Partnership and the Issuer, providing
for the  registration or qualification of Common Shares issuable upon conversion
of the  Debentures.  The  Partnership  and CLGI have entered into the Standstill
Agreement,  dated as of December 21, 2000, among the  Partnership,  CLGI and the
Issuer,  providing for restrictions on additional purchases of securities of the
Issuer and other  matters  relating to control of the Issuer.  The  Partnership,
CLGI and certain  limited  partners of the  Partnership  have  entered  into the
Restricted  Securities  Agreement,  dated as of December 12, 2000, providing for
transfer  restrictions  on the Common  Shares  issuable  upon  conversion of the
Debentures  and for certain  "tag along"  rights of the  partners  and rights of
first refusal  (conditioned on a transferring  limited partner first obtaining a
bona fide third party  offer to  purchase  the  transferring  limited  partner's
Common Shares). Also pursuant to the Restricted  Securities Agreement,  Chancery
Lane MIC, L.P., one of the limited partners of the  Partnership,  is entitled to
utilize one of the two demand  registration  rights  provided to the Partnership
pursuant  to the  Registration  Rights  Agreement.  CLGI,  the  Class A  Limited
Partners and Class B Limited Partners have entered into the Limited  Partnership
Agreement of the  Partnership,  dated as of December 12,  2000,  that  provides,
among  other  things,  for  certain  rights of the Class A Limited  Partners  to
require the  Partnership  to exchange  Debentures  or Common  Shares for Class A
Limited  Partnership  interests and for the  distribution  among the partners of
Partnership  assets. The Registration  Rights Agreement,  Standstill  Agreement,
Restricted  Securities Agreement and Limited Partnership  Agreement are attached
hereto as exhibits (see Item 7).
