I’m a contractor. Why should I care about the Missouri Commercial Receivership Act?

What is a receivership? In its basic form a receivership occurs when a creditor requests the court to appoint a third party to take control of a debtor’s assets during the course of some litigation.

Receivership is an extreme solution. Courts do not grant that relief without proven cause.
