ich hatte die Frage vorgestern umgekehrt.
You may look under \'(administrative) receiver\' in the Kudoz questions. People pointed out the diference between the terms, depending on the country etc. \"Receiver\" seems to be the general term, though.

Note to Christian & D+D:
I agreed with D+D\'s \"liqudator\" only. If a company goes into voluntary liquidation, then you could, at a pinch, say liquidator to take the stigma out of \"reciever\". This is a very rare occurence, however, as most companies are forced into receivership.
Sure my ref. to Austrian Arnie was dangerous- it was meant to be a jibe at his suspected far right tendencies!!
Note to Harry:
I have been called as an independent crown witness in more recievership cases than I care to remember. Everyone from the judge down to the courtroom cleaning lady seems to use the term \"receiver\".
Spelling errors: well spotted- here\'s another one for you.

No takers for receiver yet?
Old fashioned Enlish term- \"insolvency clerk\".
A clerk is an administrator.
They work for Receivers.
But the Receiver is also an administrator.
So I still back receiver.

USNET
: see the whole discussion above - receiver is way too general. There's a receiver in American football, it's part of the telephone, etc.

The discussion (mainly non-native) is only complicating the issue by dredging up dictionary translations. The word is reciever! See added note above.
