Olsan v. Comora
California Court of Appeal
140 Cal. Rptr. 835 (1977)
Relevant factsFree
Olsan (plaintiff) obtained a large money judgment against Comora (defendant) but collected only a small fraction of it, and after assigning the judgment to a collection agency, submitted declarations showing Comora had refused to pay, could not be reached through his dental-practice earnings, and had personally stated the judgment would be difficult to collect given how his accounts receivable were structured; based on this showing, the court appointed a receiver to collect amounts from Comora's dental practice, and Comora appealed.
IssueFree
Whether, under California law, a court may appoint a receiver to collect a money judgment where other remedies to enforce collection have proven inadequate.
