(2) enter the cause as a civil action upon the dockets of the court under the name and style of "In the matter of the liquidation of ___________" (inserting the name of the financial institution).
(c) The receivership court may hear and determine all issues and matters pertaining to or connected with the liquidation of the financial institution, including:
