Bank Solis, a BSP-supervised bank, is placed under receivership by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) due to liquidity pressures. The BSP appoints Atty. Hana Yu as Receiver, authorized to take possession of and manage Bank Solis’ assets and liabilities and to perform acts necessary to preserve the bank and protect depositors and creditors. After appointment, the Receiver signs a PHP 520,000,000 bridge loan with Titan Capital Corp. to fund payroll and essential vendor payments for six months, stating that the bank’s obligations under this loan shall be binding upon Bank Solis. The bank continues to operate under the Receiver’s control. A depositor seeks withdrawal of funds; a vendor asserts a claim against Bank Solis arising from a pre-receivership contract. The bank’s board contends that any acts outside the routine preservation of assets require prior BSP or Monetary Board approval and cannot bind Bank Solis without proper authorization. (a)Identify the controlling doctrine governing a bank under receivership and the authority of the Receiver, including who appointed him and the scope of his powers. (b)Distinguish whether incurring a new loan is within the ordinary course of business during receivership, and what rule governs the authority to incur new indebtedness. (c)Apply the doctrine to the facts: Is the PHP 520,000,000 loan binding on Bank Solis? What are the effects on depositors and creditors?

The board's ratification is required for any post-receivership contract; absent ratification the loan is void; thus Bank Solis is not bound. The controlling doctrine is that the Receiver operates as the bank's agent to preserve the going concern; the appointment by the BSP; the powers cover preservation; (b) New indebtedness is limited; (c) In the given facts, the loan would bind the bank only if BSP/MB approved it; since no approval is shown, it's not binding; depositors and creditors are unaffected. The controlling doctrine is that the Receiver’s powers are limited to preserving the bank’s assets and protecting depositors; the Receiver is appointed by the BSP and may perform acts necessary for preservation but cannot bind the bank to new obligations without explicit BSP or MB authorization; (b) incurring a new loan is not within the ordinary course unless authorized; (c) applying to facts: the PHP 520,000,000 loan is not binding on Bank Solis absent prior authorization; depositors and creditors are protected. The controlling doctrine is that the Receiver acts to preserve the bank and protect depositors, appointed by the BSP; his powers cover taking possession, management, and preserving assets, but acts outside routine preservation require prior BSP or MB approval; incurring a new loan is not within the ordinary course and requires explicit authorization; thus the PHP 520,000,000 loan is not binding on Bank Solis absent such authorization; depositors’ withdrawals remain subject to the protections of the receivership and pre-receivership creditors retain their claims.
