Key Takeaways

•If the people in charge of a company can't agree on big decisions and get stuck, a judge can step in.
•The judge can pick a temporary boss to help make decisions and keep things moving.
•This temporary boss has the same powers and rules as a regular boss in the company.

Example

Imagine two owners of a small business who always fight and can't decide anything, like whether to open a new store or not.

If they can't agree for a long time and the business suffers, a judge can choose a temporary boss to make the big decisions until the owners figure things out.
