4657 Section 51. Section 7-2-9 is amended to read:
4658 7-2-9. Conservatorship, receivership, or liquidation of institution -- Appointment
4659 of receiver -- Review of actions.
4660 (1) Upon taking possession of the institution, the commissioner may appoint a receiver
4661 to perform the duties of the commissioner. Subject to any limitations, conditions, or
4662 requirements specified by the commissioner and approved by the court, a receiver shall have all
4663 the powers and duties of the commissioner under this chapter and the laws of this state to act as
4664 a conservator, receiver, or liquidator of the institution. Actions of the commissioner in
4665 appointing a receiver shall be subject to review only as provided in Section 7-2-2 .
4666 (2) (a) If the deposits of the institution are to any extent insured by a federal deposit
4667 insurance agency, the commissioner may appoint that agency as receiver. After receiving notice
4668 in writing of the acceptance of the appointment, the commissioner shall file a certificate of
4669 appointment in [
4670 filing of the certificate, the possession of all assets, business, and property of the institution is
4671 considered transferred from the institution and the commissioner to the agency, and title to all
4672 assets, business, and property of the institution is vested in the agency without the execution of
4673 any instruments of conveyance, assignment, transfer, or endorsement.
4674 (b) If a federal deposit insurance agency accepts an appointment as receiver, it has all
4675 the powers and privileges provided by the laws of this state and the United States with respect
4676 to the conservatorship, receivership, or liquidation of an institution and the rights of its
4677 depositors, and other creditors, including authority to make an agreement for the purchase of
4678 assets and assumption of deposit and other liabilities by another depository institution or take
4679 other action authorized by Title 12 of the United States Code to maintain the stability of the
4680 banking system. Such action by a federal deposit insurance agency may be taken upon approval
4681 by the court, with or without prior notice. Such actions or agreements may be disapproved,
4682 amended, or rescinded only upon a finding by the court that the decisions or actions of the
4683 receiver are arbitrary, capricious, fraudulent, or contrary to law. In the event of any conflict
4684 between state and federal law, including provisions for adjudicating claims against the institution
4685 or receiver, the receiver shall comply with the federal law and any resulting violation of state
4686 law shall not by itself constitute grounds for the court to disapprove the actions of the receiver
4687 or impose any penalty for such violation.
4688 (c) The commissioner or any receiver appointed by him shall possess all the rights and
4689 claims of the institution against any person whose breach of fiduciary duty or violations of the

4691 contributed to a condition which resulted in any loss incurred by the institution or to its assets in

4693 duty includes those duties and standards applicable under statutes and laws of this state and the
4694 United States to a director, officer, or other party employed by or rendering professional
4695 services to a depository institution whose deposits are insured by a federal deposit insurance
4696 agency. Upon taking possession of an institution, no person other than the commissioner or
4697 receiver shall have standing to assert any such right or claim of the institution, including its
4698 depositors, creditors, or shareholders unless the right or claim has been abandoned by the
4699 commissioner or receiver with approval of the court. Any judgment based on the rights and
4700 claims of the commissioner or receiver shall have priority in payment from the assets of the
4701 judgment debtors.
4702 (d) For the purposes of this section, the term "federal deposit insurance agency" shall
4703 include the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the National Credit Union Administration
4704 and any departments thereof or successors thereto, and any other federal agency authorized by
4705 federal law to act as a conservator, receiver, and liquidator of a federally insured depository
4706 institution, including the Resolution Trust Corporation and any department thereof or successor
4707 thereto.
4708 (3) The receiver may employ assistants, agents, accountants, and legal counsel. If the
4709 receiver is not a federal deposit insurance agency, the compensation to be paid such assistants,
4710 agents, accountants, and legal counsel shall be approved by the commissioner. All expenses
4711 incident to the receivership shall be paid out of the assets of the institution. If a receiver is not a
4712 federal deposit insurance agency, the receiver and any assistants and agents shall provide bond
4713 or other security specified by the commissioner and approved by the court for the faithful
4714 discharge of all duties and responsibilities in connection with the receivership including the
4715 accounting for money received and paid. The cost of the bond shall be paid from the assets of
4716 the institution. Suit may be maintained on the bond by the commissioner or by any person
4717 injured by a breach of the condition of the bond.
4718 (4) (a) Upon the appointment of a receiver for an institution in possession pursuant to
4719 this chapter, the commissioner and the department are exempt from liability or damages for any
4720 act or omission of any receiver appointed pursuant to this section.
4721 (b) This section does not limit the right of the commissioner to prescribe and enforce
4722 rules regulating a receiver in carrying out its duties with respect to an institution subject to the
4723 jurisdiction of the department.
4724 (c) Any act or omission of the commissioner or of any federal deposit insurance agency
4725 as a receiver appointed by him while acting pursuant to this chapter shall be deemed to be the
4726 exercise of a discretionary function within the meaning of Section [
4727 the laws of this state or Section 28 U.S.C. 2680(a) of the laws of the United States.
4728 (5) Actions, decisions, or agreements of a receiver under this chapter, other than
4729 allowance or disallowance of claims under Section 7-2-6 , shall be subject to judicial review only
4730 as follows:
4731 (a) A petition for review shall be filed with the court having jurisdiction under Section
4732 7-2-2 not more than 90 days after the date the act, decision, or agreement became effective or
4733 its terms are filed with the court.
4734 (b) The petition shall state in simple, concise, and direct terms the facts and principles
4735 of law upon which the petitioner claims the act, decision, or agreement of the receiver was or
4736 would be arbitrary, capricious, fraudulent, or contrary to law and how the petitioner is or may
4737 be damaged thereby. The court shall dismiss any petition which fails to allege that the petitioner
4738 would be directly injured or damaged by the act, decision, or agreement which is the subject of
4739 the petition. Rule 11 of the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure shall apply to all parties with respect
4740 to the allegations set forth in a petition or response.
4741 (c) The receiver shall have 30 days after service of the petition within which to respond.
4742 (d) All further proceedings are to be conducted in accordance with the Utah Rules of
4743 Civil Procedure.
4744 (6) All notices required under this section shall be made in accordance with the Utah
4745 Rules of Civil Procedure and served upon the attorney general of the state of Utah, the
4746 commissioner of financial institutions, the receiver of the institution appointed under this
4747 chapter, and upon the designated representative of any party in interest who requests in writing
4748 such notice.

8938 necessary before bringing legal action to adjudicate any claim.
