High Court answers in the affirmative the question, remitted by the Court of Appeal, of whether the appointment of a receiver, in matters concerning loan facilities secured by way of deed of mortgage and charge, was valid pursuant to a clause of the charge conferring on the mortgagee the power to appoint a “receiver and manager” over a secured property, on the grounds that the general principle that such an appointment was valid determined had already been determined by the court in a previous decision; and the court refuses the plaintiff's application to vary an existing Isaac Wunder order, on the grounds that the issue which the plaintiff wished to agitate was bound to fail, was frivolous and vexatious and would constitute an abuse of process.
