Court of Appeal allows, in part, an appeal from the High Court, and: (a) sets aside order dismissing a claim by a mortgage debtor against a receiver, on the grounds that it was at least arguable that the receiver's appointment was invalid on grounds that he had not been named as 'receiver and manager' as provided for in the deed of mortgage and charge, where there was litigation pending on that point in other proceedings; and (b) varies the grant of an 'Isaac Wunder' order restraining the ability of the plaintiff from bringing further proceedings without leave of the court, having considered the principles concerning the award of such an order.
