Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 13:4101

  • Corporation: A legal entity owned by the holders of shares of stock that have been issued, and that can own, receive, and transfer property, and carry on business in its own name.
  • Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
  • Mortgage: The written agreement pledging property to a creditor as collateral for a loan.
  • Obligation: An order placed, contract awarded, service received, or similar transaction during a given period that will require payments during the same or a future period.

The appointment of a receiver or liquidator of a corporation shall not affect the right of a creditor to enforce by executory process a mortgage or security agreement importing a confession of judgment and affecting property owned by the corporation.  If the receiver or liquidator is appointed prior to the institution of executory proceedings and the notice of appointment is recorded in the mortgage office in the parish in which the property is located and written notice of the appointment is received by the holder of the obligation that is sought to be enforced by executory process, then the receiver or liquidator shall be made defendant in the executory process proceedings.  If the receiver or liquidator is not appointed prior to institution of executory proceedings or the notice of appointment is not recorded or if written notice of the appointment is not received by the creditor, then the receiver or liquidator need not be substituted as the defendant, and the seizure and sale of the encumbered property may be made in the same manner as if no receiver or liquidator had been appointed.
