Leavy Receivership Case Leads to August Hearing
The sixth suit in a string of disputes between Albert Leavy and his wife Meg Leavy was filed yesterday. Justice Barnard ordered Leavy to show cause on August 21 why a receiver should not be appointed for certain property. Leavy’s troubles began with a receivership suit in April, followed by various actions including a nonsupport charge, separation suit, and a mandamus for the daughter Florence. A September 29 transaction allegedly placed the title in Mrs Leavy’s name with a $2,500 deed of trust and a power of sale to H B Mandler, who also collected rent. Proceeds were said to be split. Leavy sought a receiver and injunction against rent or sale. Mrs Leavy claims she has been blocked from paying interest and taxes, and asserts Mandler does not pay interest without Leavy’s consent, which Leavy withholds to favor foreclosure.
