Petition Seeks Court Sale Of Adjoining Lead Property
An unusual action before Chief Justice Sir Robert Melville concerns a petition by Dr O Connor for leave to dispose of a lead mining property at 40 000 pounds. The case involves trustees for Oracle Bruart Urwen and intricate debts to Copley Bank and others, with conflicts over shares and liability. The petitioner aims to sell to cover deficits, acknowledging potential losses but seeking court approval to maximize value amid high lead prices. The judge indicated jurisdiction under the Trustee Act and favored selling if proceeds cover priority debts, asking for the matter to proceed while noting other legal constraints and costs.
