Federico Baluyot, Jose Benemerito, Antonio Borre, et. al
G.R. No. L-27944, 28 May 1974
The comprehensiveness of the coverage of the matters required to be stated
explicitly in the schedule, as prescribed by Section 15 of the Insolvency Law (Act 1956)
is such that even an outline of the facts giving rise or which might give rise to a
cause of action against the insolvent debtor must be included. If the name of a
creditor is omitted, he stands to be deprived of personal notice of the proceedings,
apart from publication, and of his right to vote in the election of an assignee.
Otherwise, the order declaring the corporation insolvent will be declared null and
void.

of the Court of First Instance of Ilocos Sur, National Power Corporation, Republci of
the Philippines, Province of Ilocos Sur, Carmeling Crisologo, and Agileo R. Redoble
G.R. No. L-29207 and L-29222, 31 July 1974
A receiver may be appointed upon the relation of a creditor of a corporation, where
the corporation has been dissolved, or is insolvent, or has forfeited its corporate
rights, pursuant to Section 2, Rule 59 of the Rules of Court. However, it does not
necessarily follow that any general representation by a corporate creditor that the
corporation is in imminent danger of insolvency would perforce entitle the court to
grant ex-parte the petition for receivership. It is necessary that the applicant alleges
specific facts sufficient to show insolvency or the imminence of insolvency, rather
than broad conclusions. As a general rule, solvency is presumed especially where a
going concern is involved.
