Toronto gas station placed into receivership with BMO owed about $5.6M
A Toronto gas station property has been placed into receivership, in a small case that carries an outsized lesson on lender security and documentation.
Insolvency Insider published Nov 1 to 2 that the site at 2610 Eglinton Ave East, Toronto, was placed under an order dated Oct 20, with BDO Canada as receiver and BMO owed about $5.6M. The site is closed.
The filing includes allegations, unproven and with no court ruling on them, of an about $1.32M cheque kiting scheme, and a defective amalgamation that raised questions about BMO's mortgage security.
For investors, the value is in the diligence lesson, not the size of the loan. Even a senior lender can face questions about its security when corporate steps are defective, and a closed, non operating site changes the recovery math entirely. Buyers of small commercial and fuel or auto related properties should verify title, corporate status, and environmental and operating status before pricing a deal on the debt alone.
