Finance Corporation Hearing Postponed in Delaware Case
Judge Hitz in the district supreme court postponed till Wednesday 4 hearing on the Commonwealth Finance Corporation of Delaware motion to set aside the receivers’ appointment for assets in several large local apartments and hotels. The case, tied to a bill filed by stockholder Davis S Levy through attorney Robert H McNeil, cites attempts to wreck the firm. Receivers Joseph T Sherrier, Frances Addison Jr., and Warren I Lee were appointed, but McNeil says no assets have been found. A motion copies a Delaware filing by former vice president Theodore L Weed seeking receivers there, contending the firm is insolvent. The matter also notes a married woman employee at St Elizabeth’s Hospital challenging surname use on a pay warrant and cites a comptroller general decision affirming the legal domicile rule of a husband’s surname coexistence with a wife’s maiden name.
