  • Writ: A formal written command, issued from the court, requiring the performance of a specific act.
No hospital service corporation shall enter into any contract with a subscriber unless and until it shall have filed with the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance a copy of the contract or certificate and of all applications, riders and endorsements for use in connection with the issuance or renewal thereof. If the commissioner shall at any time notify the corporation filing the same of his disapproval of any such form, as contrary to law, or as being oppressive or calculated to mislead the public, specifying particulars, it shall be unlawful for such corporation thereafter to issue such form so disapproved. Such disapproval of the commissioner shall be subject to review by the Superior Court in a proceeding in lieu of prerogative writ.
