2862 - Supervision and Regulation.

(b) Subject to the provisions of the agreement with said agency, the
commissioner may contract with any person, firm or corporation which he
deems qualified to operate and manage such project and to perform such
duties and functions as he may deem necessary.
4. Whenever the commissioner shall be of the opinion that a company is
failing or omitting, or is about to fail or omit to do anything required
of it by law or by order of the commissioner and is doing or is about to
do anything, or permitting anything, or is about to permit anything to
be done, contrary to or in violation of law or of any order of the
commissioner, or which is improvident or prejudicial to the interest of
the public, the lienholders, the shareholders, or the occupants, the
commissioner may, in addition to such other remedies as may be
available, commence an action or proceeding in the supreme court of the
state of New York in the name of the commissioner, for the purpose of
having such violations or threatened violations stopped and prevented,
and in such action or proceeding, the court may appoint a temporary or
permanent receiver or both. Such action or proceeding shall be commenced
by a petition to the supreme court, alleging the violation complained of
and praying for appropriate relief. It shall thereupon be the duty of
the court to specify the time, not exceeding twenty days after service
of a copy of the petition, within which the company complained of must
answer the petition. In case of any default or after answer the court
shall immediately inquire into the facts and circumstances in such
manner as the court shall direct in the interest of substantial justice
without other or formal pleading. Such other persons or corporations as
it shall seem to the court necessary or proper to join as parties in
order to make its order or judgment effective, may be joined as parties.
The final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall either dismiss
the action or proceeding or direct that an order or an injunction, or

both, issue, or provide for the appointment of a receiver as prayed for
in the petition, or grant such other relief as the court may deem
appropriate.
