(c) Subject to applicable principles of equity and in accordance with applicable rules of civil procedure:

2. Appointment of a receiver to take charge of the asset transferred or of other property of the transferee; or

Nothing in ch. 242 changes the principle of law that compensatory damages are a threshold requirement for awarding punitive damages or otherwise permits a punitive damages award. Rescission under sub. (1) is an equitable remedy and does not constitute compensatory damages. C & A Investments v. Kelly, 2010 WI App 151, 330 Wis. 2d 223, 792 N.W.2d 644, 09-2420.
