Syllabus

Receivership; R.C. 2735.04; notice; sale of personal property; subject-matter jurisdiction; personal jurisdiction, venue. Judgment affirmed. The trial court had subject-matter jurisdiction over the receivership proceedings. Although the subject assets were out of the county, courts of common pleas are courts of general jurisdiction and have original jurisdiction in all civil suits that fall within the monetary requirements of a common pleas court. The trial court did not enter a judgment against the nonparty appellants; personal jurisdiction was not implicated. Venue was not raised in the trial court and therefore is waived on appeal. The pipeline was personal property, and under R.C. 2735.04(D), the receiver was not required to provide notice to the appellants prior to selling it. Further, under R.C. 2735.04, the trial court had the authority to authorize the receiver to sell the personal property free and clear of any liens.
