Catchwords

Plaintiff’s application for summary judgment – Plaintiff granted banking facilities to defendant to finance purchase of a vessel – Mortgage on the vessel as security – Default in repayment of the facilities – Plaintiff appointed receiver and manager (R&M) over the defendant – R&M sold the vessel – Whether improper conduct by plaintiff in utilising the insurance proceeds to reduce defendant’s indebtedness instead of repairing the vessel, which purportedly led to a drastically undervalued sale – Whether plaintiff misappropriated the insurance proceeds – Whether plaintiff has duty to repair the vessel – Plaintiff’s application to strike out defendant’s counterclaim – Defendant counterclaims for damages on the basis that the sale of the vessel was not commercially optimal – Whether counterclaim is obviously unsustainable.
