This endorsement addresses a motion brought by a non-party, Khashayar Khavari, seeking leave to intervene as an added party in a receivership application.
The applicant, PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. (as court-appointed receiver of Bridging Finance Inc.), sought to appoint a receiver over the respondents, Northern Citadel Capital Inc., One8One Davenport Inc., and 181 Davenport Retail Inc. Khashayar Khavari claimed an equity interest in the respondent companies, which was subject to ongoing litigation, and argued he had an interest in the subject matter or could be adversely affected by the receivership order.
The motion was opposed by both the Bridging Receiver and the Respondents.
The court dismissed the motion, finding that Khashayar Khavari was a stranger to the debtor-creditor relationship, had no direct economic interest in the receivership application, and would not be unduly prejudiced as he could participate as an interested person on the service list.
