Case Brief Summary & Legal Analysis
tl;dr: A creditor obtained a charging order against a debtor’s LLC interests. The court held that while a receiver could be appointed to collect distributions, the receiver could not be given managerial control over the LLC, as this improperly interferes with the company’s operations.
Legal Significance: Clarifies that under Florida’s LLC Act, a charging order is the exclusive remedy for a member’s creditor. Any appointed receiver may only collect distributions and cannot manage the LLC’s affairs, thus protecting the entity’s operational integrity from a member’s personal creditors.

Case Facts & Court Holding
Key Facts & Case Background
Appellee Dakem & Associates, LLC, a judgment creditor, sought to collect on a judgment against Appellant Joeann McClandon, the judgment debtor. McClandon held a controlling interest in eleven limited liability companies (LLCs). To satisfy the judgment, Dakem obtained a charging order against McClandon’s transferable interest in the LLCs pursuant to Florida Statutes § 605.0503. The trial court, seeking to enforce the charging order, went a step further and appointed a receiver for four of the LLCs. The court granted this receiver broad powers, including acting as the de facto Chief Financial Officer and making financial management decisions for the companies. McClandon appealed the portion of the order that appointed a receiver with managerial authority, arguing it exceeded the scope of the “sole and exclusive remedy” provided by the charging order statute. Dakem contended the receiver’s powers were necessary to give the charging order effect.
