    • Requires the approval of a rehabilitation plan which uses various means to recover the debtor's financial health.

    Rehabilitation Receiver

    • Appointed by the court, this individual or entity has specific powers and duties to facilitate the rehabilitation process.
    • Responsible for reviewing, revising, or submitting the rehabilitation plan to the court.

    Liability of Individual Debtors and Business Entities

    • Liability incurred can be double the value of improperly sold, embezzled, or disposed property, or double the transaction value, whichever is higher.
    • Certain fraudulent actions committed after knowledge of impending insolvency proceedings can lead to increased liability.

    Petition and Proceedings

    • The court has up to 10 days to act upon the rehabilitation receiver's report, assessing the debtor's insolvency and potential for successful rehabilitation.
    • A petition may be dismissed if the debtor is not insolvent, the filing is a sham, or if materially false information is provided.

    Removal of the Rehabilitation Receiver

    • The court may remove the rehabilitation receiver at any time based on grounds such as incompetence, negligence, illegal conduct, or conflict of interest.

    Compensation and Terms of Service

    • Rehabilitation receivers are entitled to reasonable fees for their services, subject to court approval.
    • Compensation varies based on actual services rendered when no prior agreement exists.

    • Rehabilitation receivers and their staff are not liable for actions taken in good faith related to their duties.
    • Certain transactions made by the debtor after the commencement of proceedings may be voided if not within ordinary business operations.

    Treatment of Secured Creditors

    • The rights and security of secured creditors are not diminished during the rehabilitation process, but enforcement may be temporarily suspended.
    • Secured creditors can enforce their liens if the property is not necessary for the debtor's rehabilitation.

    Conversion to Liquidation
