Oregon Statutes 37.360 – Objection to and allowance of claims

Terms Used In Oregon Statutes 37.360
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- Person: includes individuals, corporations, associations, firms, partnerships, limited liability companies and joint stock companies. See Oregon Statutes 174.100
(b) At any time before the entry of an order approving the receiver’s final report, any interested person may object to a claim. The objector must mail a copy of the objection, together with a notice of hearing, to the receiver and claimant at least 21 days before the hearing. The court shall hear the objection and enter an order allowing or disallowing the claim.
(2) Upon request of a creditor, the receiver or a person objecting to a creditor’s claim, or upon order of the court, an objection is subject to mediation before adjudication of the objection, under the rules or orders adopted or issued with respect to mediations. However, claims by the state are not subject to mediation unless the state consents to mediation.
(3) Upon motion of the receiver or an interested person, the following claims may be estimated for purpose of allowance under this section under the rules or orders applicable to the estimation of claims under this subsection:
(a) Any contingent or unliquidated claim, the fixing or liquidation of which, as the case may be, would unduly delay the administration of the receivership; or
(b) Any right to payment arising from a right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance.
(4) Claims estimated under subsection (3) of this section are allowed in the estimated amount thereof. [2017 c.358 § 36]
