In re Rehabilitation of Scottish RE (U.S.), Inc.
Annotate this Case
The Court of Chancery granted a motion sought by the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Delaware (the Commissioner) asking the Court of Chancery to permit Scottish Re (U.S.) Inc. (the Company), a delinquent insurer, to make payments to a subset of primary insurers (cedents) for a portion of their losses, holding that the Commissioner was authorized to cause the Company to make the payments.
The Company, a reinsurer, entered into reinsurance agreements with cedents in which the Company agreed to pay a portion of the losses that their insurers suffered. The Company was later placed in receivership, and the Commissioner was appointed as receiver. The Company stopped paying its cedents for the losses they incurred while the cedents continued to make premium payments to the Company. The Commissioner asked the Court to permit the company to make the payments tissue before the approval of a rehabilitation plan. The Court of Chancery granted the motion, holding that the Commissioner established a prima facie case sufficient for the Court to grant the motion.
