It has become apparent to us following experience on a couple of property based cases that the term “receivership” conjures up very different first impressions, depending on the domicile of the persons involved.
In particular, the US understanding and practice is very different from that understood by people having an English common law background, and that includes jurisdictions such as the Caribbean, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand and other parts of the world.
This article seeks to explain some of the similarities but also the more abundant differences, focusing on instances of the most practical importance.
