Abraham Reichmann

Born  | 1962
Canada
Occupation  | rabbi

Abraham Reichmann is a Canadian rabbi.[1][2] He is a scion of the Reichmann family, best known for developing London's Canary Wharf.[3]

For the first decades of his adult life Reichmann's parents, Ralph and Ada provided him with a substantial monthly payments.[1][2] In 2014 they stopped those payments. In 2015 he sued them, claiming he supported his wife, ten children, four daughters-in-law, and four grandchildren, through those payments.

Although Abraham worked as a rabbi, he was a shareholder in the family's real estate holding business.[1][2] He argued that the directors of the business, his parents, had a responsibility, when paying dividends to shareholders, to make those payments equitably. He argued that his parents continued to pay dividends to his siblings, after he was cut off, which he argued was not equitable.

In 2022, after seven years of pre-trial legal proceedings, that had mainly been hidden from the public, the case was scheduled to go to trial.[1][2] Observers commented that this would expose the family to public scrutiny it had never been exposed to before.

Litigation of this dispute has dragged on through 2022.[1][2]
