(1) A person may not sue a receiver personally for an act or omission in administering estate property unless permitted by the court that appointed the receiver.
(2) A person may not initiate or continue an action seeking to dispossess the receiver of any estate property or to otherwise interfere with the receiver’s management or control of any estate property unless permitted by the court that appointed the receiver.
(3) Actions by or against a receiver are adjunct to the receivership. All pleadings in adjunct actions must include the case number of the receivership. All adjunct actions shall be referred to the judge assigned to the receivership action, unless:
(a) The court does not have jurisdiction over the adjunct action; or
(b) The assignment would not promote judicial efficiency.
(4) If an action is filed against a receiver in a court in this state other than the court in which the receivership is pending, the court in which the action is filed shall transfer the action to the court in which the receivership is pending upon the receiver’s motion if the receiver files the motion within 30 days after service of original process upon the receiver. However, if a state agency is a party to the action, the action may not be transferred under this subsection unless the agency consents to the transfer.
(5) The receiver may be joined or substituted as a party in any action that was pending at the time of the receiver’s appointment and in which the owner is a party, upon motion by the receiver to the court or agency in which the action is pending.
(6) In case of the death, removal or resignation of the receiver, an action by or against a receiver continues by or against the successor receiver or, if a successor receiver is not appointed, by or against the owner.
(7) Whenever the assets of any domestic or foreign entity that has been doing business in this state have been placed in the hands of a receiver, service of all process upon the entity may be made upon the receiver.
(8) A judgment against a receiver is not a lien on the property or funds of the receivership, and no execution may issue thereon. Upon entry of the judgment in the court in which the receivership is pending, or upon filing in the receivership of a certified copy of a judgment from another jurisdiction, the judgment is treated as an allowed claim in the receivership.
(9) No person other than a successor receiver duly appointed by the court has a right of action against a former receiver to recover property or the value thereof for or on behalf of the estate.
