Iowa Code § 507C.38 — IA Code / Title XIII / Chapter 507C / Section 507C.38
Special provisions for third-party claims.
Status: in_force

(1) If a third party asserts a cause of action against an insured of an insurer in liquidation, the third party may file a claim with the liquidator.

(2) Whether or not the third party files a claim, the insured may file a claim on the insured’s own behalf in the liquidation. If the insured fails to file a claim by the date for filing claims specified in the order of liquidation or within sixty days after mailing of the notice required by section 507C.22, whichever is later, the insured is an unexcused late filer.

(3) The liquidator shall make recommendations to the court under section 507C.42, for the allowance of an insured’s claim under subsection 2 after consideration of the probable outcome of a pending action against the insured on which the claim is based, the probable damages recoverable in the action and the probable costs and expenses of defense. After allowance by the court, the liquidator shall withhold dividends payable on the claim, pending the outcome of litigation and negotiation with the insured. If it seems appropriate, the liquidator shall reconsider the claim on the basis of additional information and amend the recommendations to the court. The insured shall be afforded the same notice and opportunity to be heard on all changes in the recommendation as in its initial determination. The court may amend its allowance as it finds appropriate. As claims against the insured are settled or barred, the insured shall be paid from the amount withheld the same percentage dividend as was paid on other claims of like property, based on the lesser of:

(3) (a) The amount actually recovered from the insured by action or paid by agreement plus the reasonable costs and expenses of defense.

(3) (b) The amount allowed on the claims by the court. After all claims are settled or barred, any sum remaining from the amount withheld shall revert to the undistributed assets of the insurer. Delay in final payment under this subsection shall not be a reason for unreasonable delay of final distribution and discharge of the liquidator.

(4) If several claims founded upon one policy are filed, whether by third parties or as claims by the insured under this section, and the aggregate allowed amount of the claims to which the same limit of liability in the policy is applicable exceeds that limit, each claim as allowed shall be reduced in the same proportion so that the total equals the policy limit. Claims by the insured shall be evaluated as in subsection 3. If any insured’s claim is subsequently reduced under subsection 3, the amount thus freed shall be apportioned ratably among the claims which have been reduced under this subsection.

(5) A claim may not be presented under this section if it is or may be covered by any guaranty association or foreign guaranty association.

Status: in_force

(1) No person may do any of the following:

(1) (a) Require, as a condition precedent to the lending of money or extension of credit, or any renewal thereof, that the person to whom such money or credit is extended or whose obligation the creditor is to acquire or finance, negotiate any policy or contract of insurance through a particular insurer or group of insurers or agent or broker or group of agents or brokers.

(1) (b) Unreasonably disapprove the insurance policy provided by a borrower for the protection of the property securing the credit or lien.

(1) (c) Require directly or indirectly that any borrower, mortgagor, purchaser, insurer, broker, or agent pay a separate charge in connection with the handling of any insurance policy required as security for a loan on real estate or pay a separate charge to substitute the insurance policy of one insurer for that of another.

(1) (d) Use or disclose information resulting from a requirement that a borrower, mortgagor or purchaser furnish insurance of any kind on real property being conveyed or used as collateral security to a loan, when such information is to the advantage of the mortgagee, vendor, or lender, or is to the detriment of the borrower, mortgagor, purchaser, insurer, or the agent or broker complying with such a requirement.

(2) Subsection 1, paragraph “c” of this section does not include the interest which may be charged on premium loans or premium advancements in accordance with the security instrument.

(3) For purposes of subsection 1, paragraph “b” of this section, such disapproval shall be deemed unreasonable if it is not based solely on reasonable standards uniformly applied, relating to the extent of coverage required and the financial soundness and the services of an insurer. Such standards shall not discriminate against any particular type of insurer, nor shall such standards call for the disapproval of an insurance policy because such policy contains coverage in addition to that required.

(4) If a violation of this section is found, the person in violation shall be subject to the same procedures and penalties as are applicable to other provisions of this chapter.

(5) For purposes of this section, “person” includes any individual, corporation, association, partnership, or other legal entity.
