Does the appointment of a receiver manager by court operate to discharge a servant from his employment contract?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Engel v. Clarkson Company Limited, 1982 CanLII 2360 (SK QB):
At common law the appointment of a receiver-manager by court order generally operated to discharge a servant from his current employment contract of service (see Reid v. The Explosives Company Limited (1887), 19 Q.B.D. 264). I am of the view that this is what occurred in the situation before me.
