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.

Commodities Storage v. Court of Appeals, GR No. 125008


[1997]
On Appointment of Receiver
Doctrine: The general rule is that neither party to a litigation should be appointed as receiver
without the consent of the other because a receiver should be a person indifferent to the parties
and should be impartial and disinterested. The receiver is not the representative of any of the
parties but of all of them to the end that their interests may be equally protected with the least
possible inconvenience and expense.
The power to appoint a receiver must be exercised with extreme caution. There must be a clear
showing of necessity therefor in order to save the plaintiff from grave and irremediable loss or
damage. It is only when the circumstances so demand, either because there is imminent danger
that the property sought to be placed in the hands of a receiver be lost or because they run the
risk of being impaired, endeavouring to avoid that the injury thereby caused be greater than the
one sought to be avoided.

Acuna v. Calauag, GR No. L-10736 [1957]


On Jurisdiction with regard to Receivership
Doctrine: Although the perfection of an appeal deprives the trial court of jurisdiction over the
case, nevertheless, under the law, said court retains jurisdiction as regards the preservation of
the property under litigation and involved in the appeal, including necessarily the authority to
appoint a receiver who has the power to take and keep possession of the property in
controversy.
