2A:50-31.Ā  Sale pending foreclosure
When, in an action for the foreclosure or satisfaction of a mortgage covering real or personal property, or both, the property mortgaged is of such a character or so situated as to make it liable to deteriorate in value or to make its care or preservation difficult or expensive pending the determination of the action, the superior court may, before judgment, upon the application ofĀ  any party to the action, order a sale of the mortgaged property to be made atĀ  public or private sale through a receiver, sheriff, or otherwise, as the courtĀ  may direct.Ā  The proceeds of any such sale shall be brought into court, thereĀ  to remain subject to the same liens and equities of the parties in interest asĀ  was the mortgaged property and to be disposed of as the court shall, by orderĀ  or judgment, direct.
