Chapter 38. DENTAL PLAN ORGANIZATION ACT
§ 3818. Injunctive power.

Whenever any dental plan organization shall become insolvent or shall suspend its ordinary business for want of funds to carry on the same, or whenever the Commissioner shall ascertain, as a result of examination as authorized by this chapter, or in any other manner, that the dental plan organization is exceeding its powers or violating the law or that its condition or methods of business may render the continuance of its operations hazardous to its enrollees or the public, or that its assets are less than its liabilities, the Commissioner may institute an action in the Court of Chancery to enjoin it from the transaction of any further business, or from the transfer or disposal of its property in any manner whatsoever. The Court may proceed in the action in a summary manner or otherwise. It may grant injunctive relief and appoint a receiver, with power to sue for, collect, receive and take into his or her possession all the goods and chattels, rights and credits, moneys and effects, lands and tenement, books, papers, choses in action, bills, notes and property of every description belonging to the dental plan organization and sell and convey and assign the same, and authorize the purchase of continuing coverage for enrollees utilizing the remaining assets, and hold and dispose of the proceeds thereof. The Court may cause the receiver to continue the existing operation of the organization, under Court supervision, until the next anniversary of the subscription certificates and contracts then in force. The dental plan organization may be deemed insolvent whenever it is presently or prospectively unable to fulfill its outstanding contracts and to maintain the surpluses required pursuant to this chapter.
