English translation:in receivership or administration
Explanation:
After having worked for an RPB (a recognised professional body) dealing with complaints about members for alleged breaches of the disciplinary code, insolvency practitioners were regular fodder. Understandably many of those concerned, particularly directors, were often unpleased with what the appointed receiver, administrator, liquidator was able to achieve, sometimes with good reason, although not always. I picked up a lot of vocab. Depending on your specific context, one of the above suggestions should come close to what you are looking for. There are differences so watch out for detail!

Motion:If the review determines that the order meets the criteria for adjustment, the Support Agency will file either an Order to Show Cause or a Notice of Motion to effect the modification.
