Rule 66 Receivers

Here's a plain English summary of this rule:

If a court appoints a receiver to manage property or a business during a lawsuit, the regular rules of civil procedure still apply to that case. This includes situations where someone is asking the court to appoint a receiver, or cases where the receiver themselves is suing someone or getting sued.

The rule also protects the receiver's role once they're appointed. If a court has put a receiver in charge of something, nobody can just drop the case on their own. The only way to end that lawsuit is if the judge issues an order dismissing it.

In simple terms, this means once a receiver gets involved, the court keeps control over how the case ends. This protects the property or business the receiver is managing, and it makes sure the receiver's work isn't cut short without the judge's approval.
