Section 507C.16 - Termination of rehabilitation1. Whenever the commissioner determines that 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 district court for an order of liquidation. A petition under this subsection shall have the same effect as a petition under section 507C.17. The court shall permit the directors of the insurer to take actions as are reasonably necessary to defend against the petition and may order payment from the estate of the insurer of costs and other expenses of defense as justice may require.2. The rehabilitator may at any time petition the district court for an order terminating rehabilitation of an insurer. The directors of the insurer may petition the court for an order terminating rehabilitation of the insurer and the court may order payment from the estate of the insurer of costs and other expenses of the petition as justice may require. If the court finds that rehabilitation has been accomplished and that grounds for rehabilitation under section 507C.12 no longer exist, it shall order that the insurer be restored to possession of its property and the control of its business. The court may also terminate the rehabilitation at any time upon its own motion.3. If the payment of obligations pursuant to a policy issued by the insurer is suspended in substantial part for a period of six months at any time after the appointment of the rehabilitator, and the rehabilitator has not filed an application for a plan pursuant to section 507C.14, subsection 4, the rehabilitator shall petition the court for an order of liquidation on grounds of insolvency.84 Acts, ch 1175, §16; 92 Acts, ch 1117, §18
