Reporting and supervision

As an officer of the court, the court receiver is subject to its supervision and may seek directions at any time. The parties to the action in which the receiver was appointed, and especially the moving party, are obliged to report any delay or default to the court. The receiver is obliged to account to the court for his or her receipts and payments, and the rules of court of the Federal Court and the Supreme Courts of the states and territories all make provision for the filing and passing, if necessary, of accounts. These obligations are in addition to statutory controls, which apply to both court and private receivers.
