Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Zanardo v. Di Battista, 2021 ONSC 7835 (CanLII):
The case law establishes there is a heavy onus on the party seeking to remove a court appointed officer such as a receiver or liquidator. In normal circumstances, a court appointed officer will not be removed unless he, she or it has engaged in “blatant intentional action contrary to the interest of one or more parties”: Kraner v. Kraner, 2012 CarswellOnt 10876 at paras. 10 – 11; Canada Trustco at para. 5.
