BOOTH & BOOTH

In proceedings before Benjamin J, the dispute concerned the appointment of a receiver manager for a property located at E Street, F Town. The wife sought to be appointed receiver manager for the purpose of negotiating and executing a contract for the remediation of environmental damage to the site.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to grant the wife's application for appointment as receiver manager. This appointment was contingent on the husband's ability to obtain a certificate from the Environmental Protection Agency by 30 November 2014, confirming the property was clear of environmental damage and saleable.

Benjamin J ordered that the wife be appointed receiver manager from 1 December 2014, with the specific powers to negotiate and execute a remediation contract for the site. This appointment was to be suspended if the husband obtained the required environmental certificate by the stipulated date. The court also directed that the proceedings be listed for mention, at which time it would consider updated valuation evidence, discovery of financial records, and affidavits. Costs were reserved.
