Section 316.11 Receiver, Appointment, Duties - Minnesota Statutes

316.11 RECEIVER, APPOINTMENT, DUTIES.

In any action or proceeding to dissolve a corporation, the court, at any time before judgment, or within three years after judgment, of dissolution, may appoint a receiver to take charge of its estate and effects and to collect the debts and property due and belonging to it, with power to prosecute and defend actions in its name or otherwise, to appoint agents, and do all other acts necessary to the final settlement of the unfinished business of the corporation which it might do if in being. The power of such receiver shall continue so long as the court deems necessary for such purposes. The receiver shall pay all debts due from the corporation, if the funds in hand are sufficient therefor; and, if not, shall distribute the same ratably among the creditors who prove their debts, in the manner directed by the court; and, if there be any balance after the payment of the debts, the receiver shall distribute and pay the same to and among those who are justly entitled thereto, as having been stockholders or members. Every receiver appointed under the provisions of this section shall give bond in such amount as the court shall require, with sureties approved by it.
