Receiver Appointed Over Rent

Our client is a management company owed €17,000+ in unpaid service charges by an apartment owner. Although judgement had been obtained, no payments had been received after all the usual remedies had been pursued, sheriff seizure, instalment order, registration of judgement mortgage etc. Where legal remedies are inadequate, the law permits equitable remedies where it is 'just and convenient'. Applying to the High Court under this heading, Gerard McGrath has been appointed receiver over the rent due from the apartment owner's tenant. This will mean the tenant will have to pay the rent to the Receiver on behalf of the Management Company until the debt is satisfied.
