Unauthorized Insurers Process Act
Maine · Agents, Brokers, Consultants and Adjusters (Repealed) · §§ 2101 to 2114 · 14 sections
Overview
The Unauthorized Insurers Process Act governs how legal proceedings may be brought against insurance companies that transact insurance business within a state without holding a license there. It establishes a mechanism for compelling such insurers into the state's courts by treating their unauthorized insurance activity as consent to service of process through a designated state official or agent, with provision for personal service outside the state as well. The act also sets out related procedural requirements, including notice to the insurer of the proceeding, conditions governing the insurer's appearance and defense of an action, and the recovery of attorney fees.
