§ 82.471. Application of creditors or members of insolvent corporation for injunction and appointment of receiver or trustee; powers and duties of court

1. Whenever any corporation becomes insolvent or suspends its ordinary business for

want of funds to carry on the business, or if its business has been and is being conducted

at a great loss and greatly prejudicial to the interest of its creditors or members,

creditors holding 10 percent of the outstanding indebtedness, or members, if any,

having 10 percent of the voting power to elect directors, may, by petition or bill

of complaint setting forth the facts and circumstances of the case, apply to the district

court of the county in which the principal office of the corporation is located or

to the district court in the county in which the corporation's registered office is

located for a writ of injunction and the appointment of a receiver or receivers or

trustee or trustees. 2. The court, being satisfied by affidavit or otherwise of the sufficiency of the

application and of the truth of the allegations contained in the petition or bill,

and upon hearing after such notice as the court by order may direct, shall proceed

in a summary way to hear the affidavits, proofs and allegations which may be offered

in behalf of the parties. 3. If upon the inquiry it appears to the court that the corporation has become insolvent

and is not about to resume its business in a short time thereafter, or that its business

has been and is being conducted at a great loss and greatly prejudicial to the interests

of its creditors or members, so that its business cannot be conducted with safety

to the public, it may issue an injunction to restrain the corporation and its officers

and agents from exercising any of its privileges or franchises and from collecting

or receiving any debts or paying out, selling, assigning or transferring any of its

estate, money, funds, lands, tenements or effects, except to a receiver appointed

by the court, until the court otherwise orders.
