A. Nothing in this chapter shall prohibit the making of agreements among insurers for the equitable apportionment among them of insurance which may be afforded applicants who are in good faith entitled to but who are unable to procure it through ordinary methods. Insurers may agree among themselves on the use of reasonable rate modifications for such insurance. These agreements and rate modifications shall be subject to the approval of the Commission.
Terms Used In Virginia Code 38.2-1918
- Commission: means the State Corporation Commission. See Virginia Code 38.2-100
- 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
B. The Commission may approve policy forms and endorsements for use by such insurers with respect to insurance afforded such applicants.
