RECEIVER
(bouvier)
RECEIVER, chancery practice. A person appointed by a court possessing
chancery jurisdiction to receive the rents and profits of land, or the
profits or produce of other property in dispute.
2. The power of appointing a receiver is a discretionary power
exercised by the court. the appointment is provisional, for the more speedy
getting in of the estate in dispute, and scouring it for the benefit of such
person as may be entitled to it, and does not affect the right. 3 Atk. 564.
3. It is not within the compass of this work to state in what cases a
receiver will be appointed; on this subject, see 2 Madd. Ch. 233.
4. The receiver is an officer of the court, and as such, responsible
for good faith and reasonable diligence. When the property is lost or
injured by any negligence or dishonest execution of the trust, he is liable
in damages; but he is not, as of course, responsible because there has been
an embezzlement or theft. He is bound to such ordinary diligence, as belongs
to a prudent and honest discharge of his duties, and such as is required of
all persons who receive compensation for their services. Story, Bailm. Sec.
620, 621; and the cases there cited. Vide, generally, 2 Mudd. Ch. 232; Newl.
