Terms Used In Michigan Laws 500.1367

  • Commissioner: means the director. See Michigan Laws 500.102
  • 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
  • Insurer: means that term as defined in section 106 and includes a nonprofit dental care corporation operating under 1963 PA 125, MCL 550. See Michigan Laws 500.1301
  • Quorum: The number of legislators that must be present to do business.
   A security that is the subject of any agreement or arrangement regarding acquisition, or that is acquired or to be acquired, in contravention of this chapter or of any rule or order issued by the commissioner, shall not be voted at any shareholders’ meeting or counted for quorum purposes and any action of shareholders requiring the affirmative vote of a percentage of shares may be taken as though the securities were not issued and outstanding. An action taken at the meeting shall not be invalidated by the voting of the securities, unless the action would materially affect control of the insurer or unless so ordered by the court. If an insurer or the commissioner has reason to believe that any security of the insurer has been or is about to be acquired in contravention of this chapter or of any rule or order issued by the commissioner, the insurer or the commissioner may apply to the Ingham county circuit court or to the circuit court for the county in which the insurer has its principal place of business to enjoin any offer, request, invitation, agreement, or acquisition made in contravention of section 1311 to 1319 or any rule or order issued by the commissioner to enjoin the voting of any security so acquired, to void any vote of the security already cast at any meeting of shareholders and for other equitable relief as the nature of the case and the interests of the insurer’s policyholders, creditors, and shareholders or the public may require.
