|
| 4.4 | A party directed to nominate a person to be appointed as receiver must file written evidence containing the information required by paragraph 4.2 and accompanied by the written consent of the nominee. |
| APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT
|
| 5. | Where a judgment creditor applies for the appointment of a receiver as a method of enforcing a judgment, in considering whether to make the appointment the court will have regard to ---

| (2)
| the amount likely to be obtained by the receiver; and |
| (3)
| the probable costs of his appointment. |
|
| 6.1 | The court may give directions to the receiver when it appoints him or at any time afterwards. |

|
| RECEIVER'S APPLICATION FOR DIRECTIONS --- RULE 69.6
|
|
| 8.2 | If the directions sought by the receiver are unlikely to be contentious or important to the parties, he may make the application by letter, and the court may reply by letter. In such cases the receiver need not serve his letter or the court's reply on the parties, unless the court orders him to do so. |
| 9.1 | A receiver may only charge for his services if the court gives directions permitting it and specifying how the remuneration is to be determined. |

| 9.4 | An application by a receiver for the amount of his remuneration to be determined must be supported by ---

| written evidence showing ---
| (a)
| on what basis the remuneration is claimed; and |

| (2)
| a certificate signed by the receiver that he considers that the remuneration he claims is reasonable and proportionate. |

|
| 9.6 | Paragraphs 9.1 to 9.5 do not apply to expenses incurred by a receiver in carrying out his functions. These are accounted for as part of his account for the assets he has recovered, and not dealt with as part of the determination of his remuneration. |

| (1)
| direct the receiver to prepare and serve accounts either by a specified date or at specified intervals; and |
| (2)
| specify the persons on whom he must serve the accounts. |
|
| 10.2 | A party should not apply for an order under rule 69.8(2) permitting him to inspect documents in the possession of the receiver, without first asking the receiver to permit such inspection without an order. |
| 10.3 | Where the court makes an order under rule 69.8(2), it will normally direct that the receiver must ---
| (1)
| permit inspection within 7 days after being served with the order; and |
