Sec. 12.
The court shall permit amendments to any part of the pleadings,
and may issue process, make all orders, requiring parties to appear, and
requiring notice to be given, that are or may be authorized in other civil
actions and shall have the same power and jurisdiction of the parties and
subject matter, and the rules of practice and proceedings in such cases
shall be the same as in other civil cases, except as is otherwise provided
in this act. The court shall have power to appoint receivers for property
on which liens are sought to be enforced in the same manner for the same
causes and for the same purposes as in cases of foreclosure of mortgages,
as well as to complete any unfinished building where the same is deemed to
be to the best interest of all the parties interested.
