Current through Chapter 519 of the 2024 Legislative Session and Chapter 2 of the 2024 First Extraordinary Session
Section 10-3-515 - Termination of rehabilitation(1) 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 district court in and for the city and county of Denver for an order of liquidation. A petition under this subsection (1) shall have the same effect as a petition under section 10-3-516. The court shall permit the directors of the insurer to take such actions as are reasonably necessary to defend against the petition and may order payment from the estate of the insurer of such costs and other expenses of defense as justice may require.(2) The protection of the interests of insureds, claimants, and the public requires the timely performance of all insurance policy obligations. If the payment of an insurer's policy obligations 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 approval of a plan under section 10-3-513(5), the rehabilitator shall petition the court for an order of liquidation on grounds of insolvency.(3) The rehabilitator may at any time petition the district court in and for the city and county of Denver 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 such costs and other expenses of such petition as justice may require. If the court finds that rehabilitation has been accomplished and that grounds for rehabilitation under section 10-3-511 no longer exist, it shall order that the insurer be restored to possession of its property and the control of the business. The court may also make such a finding and issue such an order at any time upon its own motion.L. 92: Entire part R&RE, p. 1445, § 14, effective July 1.
