The applicant sought the appointment of a receiver to sell an apartment building in Toronto and the recognition and enforcement of a New York Supreme Court order.
The parties, formerly married, had a divorce agreement requiring the applicant to receive US$500,000 for her interest in the property by June 2020, which the respondent had repeatedly frustrated.
The court found it just and convenient to appoint a receiver due to the respondent's deliberate obstruction, the parties' impasse, the impending mortgage maturity, and the property's negative cash flow.
The court also recognized and enforced the New York order for interest, rental revenues, and costs, finding the New York court had jurisdiction, the order was final, and no valid defenses were raised.
