Tennessee Code Title 56. Insurance § 56-9-302

Current as of January 02, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a)(1) An order to rehabilitate the business of a domestic insurer, or an alien insurer domiciled in this state, shall appoint the commissioner and the commissioner's successors in office the rehabilitator, and shall direct the rehabilitator immediately to take possession of the assets of the insurer and to administer them under the general supervision of the court.

(2) The filing or recording of the order with the clerk of the chancery court of Davidson County or recorder of deeds of the county in which the principal business of the company is conducted, or the county in which its principal office or place of business is located, shall impart the same notice as a deed, bill of sale, or other evidence of title duly filed or recorded with that recorder of deeds would have imparted.

(3) The order to rehabilitate the insurer shall by operation of law vest title to all assets of the insurer in the rehabilitator.

(b) Any order issued under this section shall require accountings to the court by the rehabilitator. Accountings shall be at intervals that the court specifies in its order, but no less frequently than semi-annually. Each accounting shall include a report concerning the rehabilitator's opinion as to the likelihood that a plan under § 56-9-303(e) shall be prepared by the rehabilitator and the timetable for doing so.

(c) Entry of an order of rehabilitation shall not constitute an anticipatory breach of any contracts of the insurer nor shall it be grounds for retroactive revocation or retroactive cancellation of any contracts of the insurer, unless the revocation or cancellation is done by the rehabilitator pursuant to § 56-9-303.
