Legal Definitions - receiving order

A receiving order is a direction given by a court to a bankruptcy receiver to take a specific action. It is a type of court order that is used in legal proceedings.

For example, if a company goes bankrupt, a court may issue a receiving order to a bankruptcy receiver to take control of the company's assets and distribute them to creditors.

Another example is when a court issues a receiving order to a receiver to collect rent from a property and use it to pay off debts owed by the property owner.

Receiving orders are important in legal proceedings because they provide clear instructions to the receiver on what actions to take. They also help ensure that the process is fair and transparent for all parties involved.
