§1807.24. Extensions of deadlines
A. The commissioner may extend any deadline provided in this Subpart for
reasonable cause, except the deadline for the umpire to notify the parties that the umpire is
insured by the insurer.
B. To request the commissioner to extend a deadline, a party, appraiser, or umpire
shall, pursuant to the provisions of R.S. 22:1807.25, send the request in writing to the
commissioner explaining the reasonable cause for the extension. Reasonable cause includes
military deployment of the claimant.

an objection because of an umpire being insured by the insurer.
D. If a suit has been filed, extension of deadlines related to a particular case shall
only be made by the court of record in which the property is located.
E. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section, appraisers may jointly agree to
extend deadlines.
