Amendment History
(P.B. 1978-1997, Sec. 503.)
Plain-English Summary
Section 21-18 extends the preceding receivership rules to ancillary receivers, meaning it applies the same framework used for primary receivers to appointments made to assist with assets located elsewhere. The rules apply “so far as applicable,” so an ancillary receiver’s appointment and duties follow the general receivership rules to the extent they fit that more limited role.
