§ 27-14.3-20. Termination of rehabilitation.
(a) Whenever the commissioner believes further attempts to rehabilitate an insurer would
substantially increase the risk of loss to creditors, policyholders, or the public,
or would be futile, the commissioner may petition the superior court for the county
of Providence for an order of liquidation. A petition under this subsection shall
have the same effect as a petition under § 27-14.3-21. The superior court for the county of Providence shall permit the directors of the
insurer to take any actions as are reasonably necessary to defend against the petition
and may order payment from the estate of the insurer of any costs and other expenses
of defense as justice may require.
(b) The protection of the interests of the insureds, claimants, and the public requires
the timely performance of all insurance policy obligations. If the payment of policy
obligations is suspended in substantial part for a period of six (6) months at any
time after the appointment of the rehabilitator and the rehabilitator has not filed
an application for approval of a plan under § 27-14.3-18(f), the rehabilitator shall petition the court for an order of liquidation on the grounds
of insolvency.
(c) The rehabilitator may at any time petition the superior court for the county of Providence
for an order terminating rehabilitation of an insurer. The court shall also permit
the directors of the insurer to petition the court for an order terminating rehabilitation
of the insurer and may order payment from the estate of the insurer of any costs and
other expenses of the petition as justice may require. If the superior court for the
county of Providence finds that rehabilitation has been accomplished and that grounds
for rehabilitation under § 27-14.3-16 no longer exist, it shall order that the insurer be restored to possession of its
property and the control of the business. The superior court for the county of Providence
may also make that finding and issue that order at any time upon its own motion.
