Question:

Houston Reporting Service (HRS) provided court reporting services for attorney Davis. HRS billed Davis for its services, but was never paid. HRS sued Davis for $1,083.98 for the deposition reported, plus attorney's fees, interest, and costs. As Davis did not defend herself against the suit, a default judgment was entered by the Justice Court in Harris County. HRS then began collection efforts. The court appointed Radoff as receiver in the case and issued an order commanding that Radoff take possession of "all.monies in deposit [by Davis] in financial institutions" pursuant to the court's order.

1. Why did Radoff ask for, and get, $4,144.91 when the amount owed was $1,083.98?
2. Do you think Davis could have a cause of action against her bank for giving her money to Radoff without her permission?
