§ 1063.6. All proceedings in which the insolvent insurer is a party or is obligated to defe

All proceedings in which the insolvent insurer is a party or is obligated to defend a party in any court in the state shall, subject to waiver by the association in specific cases involving covered claims and subject to waiver by the commissioner as to matters that are not covered claims, be stayed for 60 days from the date that an order of liquidation or an order of receivership with a finding of insolvency has been entered by a superior court in this state or by a court in the state of domicile of the insurer, and an additional time thereafter as may be determined necessary by the court to permit proper defense or conduct of all pending causes of action by the association or the commissioner, as applicable. The stay as to matters to which the insolvent insurer is a party shall be superseded by and when an injunction or stay order is entered by the court in this state having jurisdiction of the liquidation or the ancillary liquidation. The liquidator, receiver, or statutory successor of an insolvent member insurer shall permit reasonable access by the association to the insolvent insurer’s records as is necessary for the association to carry out its duties with regard to covered claims. In addition, the liquidator, receiver, or statutory successor shall provide the association with copies of these records upon the reasonable request of the association and at the expense of the association.
