Is a receiver entitled to fees paid by an attorney for services rendered in obtaining the appointment of a receiver?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Smith v. Hill, 237 Cal.App.2d 374, 47 Cal.Rptr. 49 (Cal. App. 1965):
Although an allowance of fees to such attorney for services rendered in obtaining the appointment of a receiver is proper (Hozz v. Varga, supra, 166 Cal.App.2d 539, 543, 333 P.2d 113), the court in the present action did not abuse its discretion in refusing credit to the receiver for all attorney's fees paid. The evidence is that the fees paid by the receiver were not for obtaining his appointment.
