Receivership
Ysasi v. Fernandez, GR No. L-28593 [1968]
Purpose of Receivership
Doctrine: Receivership has been rightfully tagged as a harsh remedy. It is to be warranted with
extreme caution.The purpose of receivership, as a provisional remedy, is to preserve or protect
the rights of the parties during the pendency of the main action. To apply this remedy to the
case at hand is to lose sight of its purpose. At stake here are the husband's power of
administration and the wife's right to be protected from abuse thereof. The wife's right rests
upon proof of such abuse. Absent that proof, the wife's right does not exist.
Receivership is also aimed at the preservation of, and at making more secure, existing rights.
Certainly, it cannot be use as an instrument for the destruction of those rights.
