Plain-English Summary
Section 1559 gives a losing party in the Supreme Court a way to challenge a single justice's ruling on a receiver. Within ten days of an order appointing or refusing to appoint a receiver, the aggrieved party can file a motion to vacate it, heard either by the full Supreme Court in session or by a quorum of justices in vacation.
While that challenge is pending, the moving party can post a bond, in an amount the court or a justice sets, conditioned on prosecuting the case and paying costs and damages. Once that bond is filed and approved, the receiver's authority is suspended, and if the receiver already took possession of property in the case, that property goes back to its rightful owner.
