Latest version.
  • When the superintendent  is  in  possession  of  any  banking  organization, and attorneys' liens are
      asserted by attorneys of such banking organization against any causes of
      action to which  such  banking  organization  is  a  party,  or  against
      pleadings  or  other papers in the possession of such attorneys relating
      to such causes of action, or if such  liens  are  asserted  against  any
      evidences  of  title  to any assets or against any of the assets of such
      banking organization then in  the  possession  of  such  attorneys,  the
      superintendent  may institute special proceedings and petition the court
      to fix and determine the amount of such liens. Such proceedings shall be
      instituted in the county in which the principal office of  such  banking
      organization is located. Upon application of the superintendent and upon
      notice to such attorneys to be prescribed by the court, the court may by
      order  prior  to final order in such proceeding direct such attorneys to
      deliver to the superintendent all property of such banking organization,
      against which such liens are asserted, together with  such  consents  to
      substitution   of   attorneys   as   the  court  may  direct,  upon  the
      superintendent furnishing security to such attorneys in the  manner  and
      to an amount that may be fixed by the court.
