(a) Whenever he has reasonable cause to believe that further attempts to rehabilitate an insurer would substantially increase the risk of loss to creditors, policy and certificate holders, or the public, or would be futile, the rehabilitator may petition the Commonwealth Court for an order of liquidation. A petition under this subsection shall have the same effect as a petition under section 520. 1 The Commonwealth Court shall permit the directors 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.
(b) The rehabilitator may at any time petition the Commonwealth Court for an order terminating rehabilitation of an insurer. If the Commonwealth Court finds that rehabilitation has been accomplished and that grounds for rehabilitation under section 514 2 no longer exists, it shall order that the insurer be restored to possession of its property and the control of its business. The Commonwealth Court may also make that finding and issue that order at any time upon its own motion.
