Latest version.
  • A. If it appears to the commissioner that a person has engaged in or is engaging in a practice declared to be unlawful by this article, and that such person is concealing assets or self, or has made arrangements to conceal assets or is about to leave this state, the commissioner may apply to the superior court, ex parte, for an order appointing a receiver of the assets of such person or for a writ of ne exeat, or both.

    B. The court, upon receipt of an application for the appointment of a receiver or for a writ of ne exeat, or both, shall examine the verified application of the commissioner and such other evidence that the commissioner presents to the court. If satisfied that the interests of the public require the appointment of a receiver or the issuance of a writ ne exeat without notice, the court shall issue an order appointing the receiver or issue the writ, or both. If the court determines that the interests of the public will not be harmed by the giving of notice, the court shall set a time for a hearing and require such notice be given as the court deems satisfactory.

    C. If the court appoints a receiver without notice, the court shall further direct that a copy of the order appointing a receiver be served upon the person engaged in or engaging in a practice declared to be unlawful under this article by delivering such order to the last address of the person which is on file with the real estate department. The order shall inform the person that he has the right to request a hearing within ten days of the date of the order, and if requested, the hearing shall be held within thirty days from the date of the order.
