RULE 66. RECEIVERS APPOINTED BY DISTRICT COURTS
An action wherein a receiver has been appointed shall not be dismissed except by order of the court. A foreign receiver shall have capacity to sue in any district court but his rights are subordinate to those of local creditors. The practice in the administration of estates by receivers or by other similar officers appointed by the court shall be in accordance with the appropriate statute of this state and the practice heretofore followed in the courts of this state or as provided in rules promulgated by the district courts. In all other respects the action in which the appointment of a receiver is sought or which is brought by or against a receiver is governed by these rules.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Rule 66 is identical to Rule 66, FRCivP, except for changes to conform to the court system of North Dakota and additions (i) to allow a foreign receiver to sue in district court without going through the formal ceremony of an auxiliary appointment and (ii) to specify statutes as one of the sources of procedure for the administration of estates.
