Text

(1) When a claim is denied in whole or in part by
the liquidator, written notice of the determination shall be given to the claimant or
the claimant's attorney by first-class mail at the address shown in the proof of
claim. Within sixty days after the mailing of the notice, the claimant may file

the court for a hearing as soon as practicable and give notice of the hearing by
first-class mail to the claimant or the claimant's attorney and to any other persons
