Appointment of Temporary Re-

ceiver in Chambers All applications for the appointment of a receiver shall be made in a civil action, and at any time after the writ and complaint has been signed. As ancillary thereto, an application may be made, when the court before which such action is pend- ing is not in actual session, to a judge in chambers for the appointment of a temporary receiver, after notice to the parties in interest, unless the exigen- cies of the case require otherwise; and said judge may appoint a temporary receiver, and upon such appointment shall fix a time for a hearing upon the confirmation of such temporary receiver and the appointment of appraisers, and cause not less than six days’ notice thereof to be given to all parties in interest by mail and otherwise if deemed necessary. Upon such hearing or an adjourn- ment thereof, the judge may appoint two or more appraisers and either confirm the temporary receiver or make a new appointment of a tempo- rary receiver. The appointment of a temporary receiver shall continue until a permanent receiver shall be appointed or until the further order of the court. (P.B. 1978-1997, Sec. 485.)
