Chapter 645 - Insurers rehabilitation and liquidation.
645.32 - Rehabilitation orders.

645.32 Rehabilitation orders.
(1) Appointment of rehabilitator. An order to rehabilitate the business of a domestic insurer, or an alien insurer domiciled in this state, shall appoint the commissioner and his or her successors in office rehabilitator and shall direct the rehabilitator to take possession of the assets of the insurer and to administer them under the orders of the court. The recording of the order with any register of deeds in the state imparts the same notice as a deed, bill of sale or other evidence of title recorded with that register of deeds.
(2) Anticipatory breach. Entry of an order of rehabilitation does not constitute an anticipatory breach of any contracts of the insurer.
History: 1979 c. 93; 1979 c. 102 s. 236 (13); 1993 a. 301.
In the context of insurance rehabilitations, a circuit court erroneously exercises its discretion when the circuit court exceeds its statutory authority or the court unreasonably substitutes a rehabilitator's beliefs for its own beliefs. The court upholds the determinations made by the rehabilitator unless the rehabilitator abused his or her discretion. Nickel v. Wells Fargo Bank, 2013 WI App 129, 351 Wis. 2d 539, 841 N.W.2d 482, 10-2022.
