Terms Used In Iowa Code 506.14
- Commissioner: means the commissioner of insurance. See Iowa Code 510.1B
- 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
2. The commissioner shall approve the plan if the commissioner finds that the plan complies with all applicable provisions of law and is fair and equitable to the domestic mutual insurance company and its policyholders.
