§ 22:2207 — Writ of mandamus

Nothing contained in this Chapter shall deprive a person of his right, or delay the exercise of such right, to seek a writ of mandamus compelling the commissioner of insurance to perform a ministerial duty as established by law where it is alleged that the commissioner of insurance is fraudulently or not impartially fulfilling his duties, or where the delay involved in obtaining ordinary relief may cause injustice. No provision of this Chapter shall be a bar to, or grounds for delay, continuance, or deferral of the prompt adjudication of a petition for writ of mandamus directing the commissioner of insurance to do his duty.
