1. Whenever multiple claims against a licensee are filed against the Account and they exceed in the aggregate $100,000, the maximum liability of the Account for the licensee must be distributed among the claimants in the ratio that their respective claims bear to the total of all claims, or in any other manner that the court may find equitable.
2. The distribution must be made without regard to the order of priority in which the claims were filed or judgments entered.
3. Upon the petition of the Administrator, the court may require all claimants and prospective claimants to be joined in one action so that the respective rights of all claimants may be equitably determined.
