§ 614. 614Obtaining possession of pleadings, et cetera, in actions against which attorneys' liens are asserted

§ 614. Obtaining possession of pleadings, et cetera, in actions against which attorneys' liens are asserted. When the superintendent is in possession of any banking organization, and attorneys' liens are asserted by attorneys of such banking organization against any causes of action to which such banking organization is a party, or against pleadings or other papers in the possession of such attorneys relating to such causes of action, or if such liens are asserted against any evidences of title to any assets or against any of the assets of such banking organization then in the possession of such attorneys, the superintendent may institute special proceedings and petition the court to fix and determine the amount of such liens. Such proceedings shall be instituted in the county in which the principal office of such banking organization is located. Upon application of the superintendent and upon notice to such attorneys to be prescribed by the court, the court may by order prior to final order in such proceeding direct such attorneys to deliver to the superintendent all property of such banking organization, against which such liens are asserted, together with such consents to substitution of attorneys as the court may direct, upon the superintendent furnishing security to such attorneys in the manner and to an amount that may be fixed by the court.
