OLSAN V. COMORA
140 Cal. Rptr. 835 (1977)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Comora (D) appealed a decision, which appointed a receiver in order
for Olsan (P) to collect a judgment she had against D.
FACTS: P obtained a money judgment against D for the sum of $382,886 plus costs. By means
of an execution and garnishment, P collected $36,560 from D out of a pending escrow. P
instituted a receivership proceeding with an order ex parte to show cause why a receiver
should not be appointed to marshal and disburse D's assets to satisfy the judgment. By
document P showed the court that demand was made upon D to pay the judgment, but D refused;
that P, as the judgment creditor, is unable to levy execution upon D's earnings, and that
the only process available to enforce payment is by the appointment of a receiver who would
collect D's earnings and disburse the funds to P toward the satisfaction of the judgment in
accordance with section 690.6 of the Code of Civil Procedure. The second document discussed
the various tricks used by D such as giving his mother in law a trust deed promissory note
on apartment property with an assignment of rents clause wherein it was impossible for D to
prove collusion. The declaration that D is a practicing dentist, and that his accounts
receivable were subject to a factoring arrangement and that a judgment creditor would have
great difficulty in collecting a judgment. D also bragged to P that she would have great
difficulty locating any of his assets that were subject to levy. Also because of these
difficulties in locating assets subject to levy, P decided to assign the judgment for
collection. P claimed that a receiver would be the only feasible way to enforce P's rights
under the judgment. The court ex parte appointed Robinson as receiver. D appealed.
