(1) Venue for a proceeding brought under s. 617.1430 lies in the circuit court of the applicable county.
(2) It is not necessary to make members or directors parties to a proceeding to dissolve a corporation unless relief is sought against them individually.
(3) A court in a proceeding brought to dissolve a corporation may issue injunctions, appoint a receiver or custodian during the proceeding with all powers and duties the court directs, take other action required to preserve the corporate assets wherever located, and carry on the affairs of the corporation until a full hearing can be held.
(4) If the court determines that any party has commenced, continued, or participated in a proceeding under s. 617.1430, and has acted arbitrarily, frivolously, vexatiously, or in bad faith, the court may award reasonable attorney fees and costs to the other parties to the proceeding who have been affected adversely by such actions.
