Rule 66. Receivers
(1) Application, Response, and Hearing. A party seeking the appointment of a receiver must file an application for the receiver's appointment, accompanied by an affidavit attesting to the facts supporting the application. Within 10 days after being served, the adverse party may file a response accompanied by one or more affidavits attesting to facts relevant to the application. Except as provided in Rule 66(a)(3), the court must hold a hearing on the application. At the hearing, it may consider testimony and other evidence presented by the parties.
(3) Appointment Without Notice. If a party applies for appointment of a receiver without notice, the court may either grant the application or, if the adverse party is available to be served, order the applicant to serve the adverse party and set a hearing on the application to be held no later than 10 days after the order's entry.
(4) Bond. If the court grants an application for appointment of a receiver without notice, it must require--and the applicant must file--a bond in an amount the court fixes, with such surety as the court approves. The bond must be conditioned to indemnify the adverse party for costs and damages occasioned by the seizure, taking, and detention of the adverse party's property.
(1) Appointment. Except as stated in this rule, the court may not appoint as receiver a party, an officer or employee of a party, an attorney for a party, or a person interested in the action. The court, however, may appoint as receiver an employee of a party, an officer of a corporate party, or a person otherwise interested in the action, if:
(2) Bond, Oath, and Certificate of Appointment. Before performing the prescribed duties, a receiver must file a bond for the court to approve. The bond must be in the amount set forth in the receiver's order of appointment, and must be conditioned on the receiver faithfully discharging his or her duties in the action and obeying the court's orders. The receiver must make an oath to the same effect, which must be endorsed on the bond. Upon the court's approval of the bond and the receiver making the required oath, the clerk must deliver a certificate of appointment to the receiver. The certificate must contain a description of the property involved in the action.
(3) Termination. Any party may move to terminate a receivership. Unless the parties stipulate otherwise, the court must hold a hearing on the motion no sooner than 10 days after the motion's service. In scheduling the hearing, the court may order the receiver to file and serve a final account and report, and may require any objecting party to file and serve written objections. At the hearing, the court may take evidence as is appropriate and may enter orders as are just concerning the receivership's termination, including orders regarding the receiver's fees and costs.
