R.I. Gen. Laws § 27-1-16: Powers of receiver — Removal and control by court.

The receiver shall be clothed with all of the powers and rights, in respect of the collection of debts due to the corporation, which the corporation possessed by virtue of its charter or otherwise before the injunction issued, and may be removed and another may be appointed by the court in his or her stead. The court shall have the same power and authority over the receiver, the receiver’s acts, proceedings, and accounts, as is exercised by courts of equity in similar cases.
