New Jersey court allows termination of Revel Casino's sale, (NYSE: BAM)

A bankruptcy court judge approved an unopposed request to terminate the sale of the Revel casino in Atlantic City to Brookfield Asset Management at a hearing on Friday. Brookfield, which had made a $110 million bid for the casino, backed out of the deal because it failed to reach an agreement with bondholders who owned Revel's power plant.The company, which did not send a representative to the hearing and has not responded in court documents to notices to terminate the sale, stands to lose its $11 million deposit.The power plant is a trouble spot for the Revel and any prospective buyer.After the casino lost construction financing in 2012, Revel was forced to find a new contractor to build its power plant. It contracted with ACR Energy Partners, but to get the deal done was required to back ACR's financing of the project.
