Can a landlord bring an action to recover the value of chattels that he loaned to a company in which the landlord owns?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from 848 Courtney Street Holdings Inc. v. JED Enterprises Ltd., 2014 BCSC 2301 (CanLII):
Another case the landlord relied on, Poy v. Philipsen, 2010 BCPC 203, dealt with an attempt by an owner of chattels he loaned to another company in which he had an interest, to recover them or their value from a company to which the chattels had apparently been sold in an asset purchase arrangement. The decision is of little assistance because the legal analysis is quite spare and the oral reasons do not cite any authority, which is understandable as the claimant there was self-represented.
