A Treatise on the Law of Receivers (Paperback or Softback)

Excerpt from A Treatise: On the Law of Receivers
The growth of the law of receivers during the ten years which have elapsed since the publication of the first edition of this work has been very marked. Six hundred new cases, which have been reported in the English, Irish and American reports during that time, are embodied in this edition. The principal additions have been to the chapters upon Actions by and against Receivers, Receivers Over Corporations, Railways, Real Property and Mortgages, especially to the chapter upon Railways. The law of receivers over railways has been largely the growth of the last ten years, and it can not be said to have wholly emerged from its formative period, and considerable modifications of existing doctrines may yet be expected. This chapter has been entirely rewritten and much enlarged, presenting several topics which are wholly new, including Preferred Indebtedness of Railway Receivers, Actions against the Receiver and Receivers' Certificates. Considerable freedom has been indulged in the criticism of doubtful authorities, but the author has scrupulously endeavored to present the existing state of the law upon the topics under discussion.
