§ 17635 Conservator To Liquidator Conversion

This law lets the state step in and shut down a business if it's not being run properly, ordering the business to be closed and its assets sold off.

Key Takeaways

  • •The regulator can request a court order to end a business if it’s not viable.
  • •The court can order the business to be liquidated and its assets distributed.
  • •The regulator becomes the liquidator who handles the shutdown and sale.

Example

A bar owner keeps breaking alcohol rules and isn’t fixing the problems.

The state regulator can ask a court to close the bar and sell its equipment because trying to fix the business would be pointless.

§ 17635 Conservator To Liquidator Conversion

If at any time after taking possession of the property and business of a licensee it shall appear to the commissioner that it would be futile to proceed as conservator with the conduct of the business of such person he may apply to the superior court of the county in which is located the principal office of such person in this State for an order to liquidate and wind up the business of said person. Upon a full hearing of such application, the court may make an order directing the winding up and liquidation of the business of such person by the commissioner, as liquidator.
