Court Of Chancery Appoints Receiver To Resolve Strategic Issues

Badii v. Metropolitan Hospice Inc., C.A. 6190-VCP (March 12,  2012)

In this case the Court appointed a receiver for an insolvent corporation under Section 291 of the DGCL.  The Court reasoned that the appointment was needed to break a deadlock over whether to implement a proposed tax strategy when there was little time left to deal with the IRS.  This illustrates when a receiver may be appointed to make business decisions.
