NY Ins L § 7425 (2015) What's This?

7425. Voidable transfers. (a) Any transfer of, or lien created upon, the property of an insurer within twelve months prior to the granting of an order to show cause under this article with the intent of giving to any creditor or enabling him to obtain a greater percentage of his debt than any other creditor of the same class and which is accepted by such creditor having reasonable cause to believe that such a preference will occur, shall be voidable.

(b) Every director, officer, employee, shareholder, member or other person acting on behalf of such insurer who shall be concerned in any such prohibited act and every person receiving thereby any property of such insurer or the benefit thereof shall be personally liable therefor and shall be bound to account to the superintendent.

(c) The superintendent, as liquidator, rehabilitator or conservator in any proceeding under this article, may avoid any transfer of, or lien upon, the property of an insurer which any creditor, shareholder or member of such insurer might have avoided and may recover the property transferred or its value from the transferee unless he was a bona fide holder for value prior to the date of the granting of an order to show cause under this article. Such property or its value may be recovered from anyone who has received it except a bona fide holder for value.

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) of this section, a commutation of a reinsurance agreement, approved by the superintendent pursuant to section one thousand three hundred twenty-one of this chapter, shall not be voidable as a preference.
