The power to appoint a receiver is part of the court’s auxiliary equitable jurisdiction and is one of the oldest remedies in the Court of Chancery. It is used in situations requiring interim protection of property (and the income of property), including disputes about partnerships, sales or mortgages of land, and administration of estates. Receivers could also be appointed by way of equitable execution.
