Butterwick v. Fitzpatrick
Thomas Lennon, a court-appointed receiver, appeals from an order awarding him compensation for his services. The court appointed Lennon to serve as a receiver in an action to dissolve two business entities. After the receivership was completed, the court ordered one of the entities to pay $122,500 for the receiver's services, and ordered the other entity to pay $10,027.50 for the services. The court also ordered the entities to pay approximately $62,000 for the receiver's attorney fees. On appeal, Lennon contends: (1) the court erred in refusing to order one of the entities to pay all of his fees and attorney fees even though the fees related solely to work for the other business entity; and (2) the court erred in refusing to order the individual parties to pay for the receiver fees and attorney fees. Court find no abuse of discretion, and affirm.
