§ 27-14.3-43. Disputed claims.
(a) When a claim is denied in whole or in part by the liquidator, written notice of the determination shall be given to the claimant or his or her attorney by first class mail at the address shown in the proof of claim. Within sixty (60) days from the mailing of the notice, the claimant may file his or her objection with the liquidator. If no filing is made, the claimant may not further object to the determination.
(b) Whenever objections are filed with the liquidator and the liquidator does not alter his or her denial of the claim as a result of the objections, the claimant shall petition for relief from any injunction in effect against the insurer and ask the court for a hearing as soon as practicable and give notice of the hearing by first class mail to the liquidator or his or her attorney and to any other persons directly affected, not less than ten (10) nor more than thirty (30) days before the date of the hearing. The matter may be heard by the court or by a court-appointed referee who shall submit findings of fact along with his or her recommendation.
