- Personal InjuryCopeland, supra, the court confronted the dismissal of a personal injury action brought against a receiver without leave of the appointing court. The court reversed, explaining that "[t]he rule that leave of the appointing court be obtained before suing * * * was devised in order to protect the receiver and the estate against the harassment and expense of possibly unnecessary litigation and to preserve the estate in the hands of the receiver for the benefit of all creditors equally [citation omitted] * * * It arose also from the fact that, because the property is held by the receiver as an officer of the court, or as it sometimes said, as the hand of the court, [*3] interference with the property by the bringing of an action without leave may constitute contempt."
