Terms Used In Indiana Code 23-2-6-31
- Assets: (1) The property comprising the estate of a deceased person, or (2) the property in a trust account.
- commissioner: refers to the securities commissioner appointed under IC 23-19-6-1(a). See Indiana Code 23-2-6-2

Indiana Code 23-2-6-4
- Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- Injunction: An order of the court prohibiting (or compelling) the performance of a specific act to prevent irreparable damage or injury.
- person: means an individual, a corporation, a partnership, a limited liability company, an association, a joint-stock company, a trust where the interests of the beneficiaries are evidenced by a security, an unincorporated organization, a government, or a political subdivision of a government. See Indiana Code 23-2-6-14
- Temporary restraining order: Prohibits a person from an action that is likely to cause irreparable harm. This differs from an injunction in that it may be granted immediately, without notice to the opposing party, and without a hearing. It is intended to last only until a hearing can be held.
- Writ: A formal written command, issued from the court, requiring the performance of a specific act.
(2) Appointment of a receiver, a conservator, or an ancillary receiver or conservator for the defendant or for the defendant’s assets located in Indiana.
(c) If the commissioner shows only that a person is about to violate the securities act or commodities act of another state or a rule or order issued or adopted by the administrator of the securities act or commodities act of another state, appropriate remedies under this chapter are limited to the following:
(1) A temporary restraining order.
(2) A temporary injunction or permanent injunction.
(3) A writ of prohibition or writ of mandamus.
(4) An order appointing a receiver, a conservator, or an ancillary receiver or conservator for the defendant or for the defendant’s assets located in Indiana.
