Case update
United Earth: three transfers the receiver wants undone
Thirteen months into the receivership of a Delta, B.C. earthworks contractor, Grant Thornton asks the court to pay out $6,088,458.43 — $5,842,227.82 of it to RBC, owed $12,050,851.67 when the receiver was appointed — and to set aside $689,000 it says left the group for its owner, a company he directs and a company controlled by a former vice-president, including about $310,000 in dealership credit moved the day after the receivership order.
