Plain-English Summary
Section 21-23 gives the court in which the action is pending, or the appointing judge acting alone, authority to issue orders directing how the receiver operates, as circumstances require. When a judge issues such an order in chambers rather than in open court, the judge must certify that order to the court where the action is pending, keeping the case record complete.
