The Receiver′s Duty of Care

Abstract

Considers recent case law to the effect that duties of care may be owed by those engaged in administration and sale of assets to people affected by the outcome of their efforts. Considers potential liability of professionals, particularly chartered surveyors advising on such disposals. Concludes that a receiver′s duty of care should be regarded as equivalent to that of mortgagee.
