(a) When any partnership is dissolved and the partners cannot agree upon the disposition of the partnership property and the settlement of the affairs of the partnership, any of them may apply to the superior court for the judicial district in which any of the partners resides, or in which the property of the partnership is situated, and, if the court is not in session, then to any judge of the Superior Court, for the appointment of a receiver to hold the business and all of the property, both real and personal, belonging to the partnership, and dispose of, manage and apply the property as the court or the judge may direct.

(b) Upon receiving an application, the court or judge shall immediately appoint a day for the hearing upon the application, and shall make such order relative to notice of the application and of the hearing to the other partners as may be deemed proper, provided the hearing shall be at least six days from the service of the order of notice. The court or judge upon such hearing may appoint a receiver for the partnership, who shall be subject to the orders of the court.
