(1) Within 5 days of the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1982, or, if later, within 5 days after the filing of a notice of appeal of an order of liquidation, which order has not been stayed, the Director shall present for the circuit court‘s approval a plan for the continued performance of the defendant company‘s policy claims obligations, including the duty to defend insureds under liability insurance policies, during the pendency of an appeal. Such plan shall provide for the continued performance and payment of policy claims obligations in the normal course of events, notwithstanding the grounds alleged in support of the order of liquidation including the ground of insolvency. In the event the defendant company’s financial condition will not, in the judgment of the Director, support the full performance of all policy claims obligations during the appeal pendency period, the plan may prefer the claims of certain policyholders and claimants over creditors and interested parties as well as other policyholders and claimants, as the Director finds to be fair and equitable considering the relative circumstances of such policyholders and claimants. The circuit court shall examine the plan submitted by the Director and if it finds the plan to be in the best interests of the parties, the circuit court shall approve the plan. No action shall lie against the Director or any of his deputies, agents, clerks, assistants or attorneys by any party based on preference in an appeal pendency plan approved by the circuit court.
     (2) The appeal pendency plan shall not supersede or affect the obligations of any insurance guaranty fund which under its own state law is required to pay covered claims obligations during the appeal pendency period.

Terms Used In Illinois Compiled Statutes 215 ILCS 5/190.1

  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
  • company: as used in this Article includes all of the corporations, associations, societies, orders, firms, companies, partnerships, and individuals specified in subsections (1), (4), and (5) of this Section and agents, managing general agents, brokers, premium finance companies, insurance holding companies, and all other non-risk bearing entities or persons engaged in any aspect of the business of insurance on behalf of an insurer against which a receivership proceeding has been or is being filed under this Article, including, but not limited to, entities or persons that provide management, administrative, accounting, data processing, marketing, underwriting, claims handling, or any other similar services to that insurer, whether or not those entities are licensed to engage in the business of insurance in Illinois, if the entity or person is an affiliate of that insurer. See Illinois Compiled Statutes 215 ILCS 5/187
  • court: shall mean the court before which the conservation, rehabilitation, or liquidation proceeding of the company is pending, or the judge presiding in such proceedings. See Illinois Compiled Statutes 215 ILCS 5/187
  • Defendant: In a civil suit, the person complained against; in a criminal case, the person accused of the crime.
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • State: when applied to different parts of the United States, may be construed to include the District of Columbia and the several territories, and the words "United States" may be construed to include the said district and territories. See Illinois Compiled Statutes 5 ILCS 70/1.14
