Vancouver Coastal Health Authority v Seymour Health Centre Inc.
In the case of Vancouver Coastal Health Authority v Seymour Health Centre Inc., dated June 26, 2023, the court granted the appointment of Ernst & Young Inc as the receiver manager. The proposed order was modified to remove provisions related to assigning the respondent, Seymour Health, into bankruptcy and subsidiaries. The court agreed that the receiver should have the authority to manage legal proceedings regarding Seymour Health and its property but required agreement from Seymour Health or court approval for any actions related to the NOCC claim. Seymour Health's application to convert the petition proceeding into an action and refer it to the trial list was dismissed. The petitioner, Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, was entitled to solicitor-client costs as specified in the Loan Agreement and the GSA, and the court saw no reason to deny those costs. No financial information was specified as part of the case.
