§ 36-3010. Actions on policies or insurance contracts – Process –

Judgment - Costs.

Action on any policy or contract of insurance issued by an

attorney for the underwriters may be brought against the attorney.

In such action, summons and process shall be served on either the

Insurance Commissioner or on the attorney-in-fact, and when so

served shall have the same effect as if served on the attorney and

on each underwriter personally. A judgment in any such action

against the attorney shall be binding upon and be judgment against

each and all of the underwriters as their several liabilities may

appear in the contract of insurance on which the action is brought.

And such summons or other process shall be served in triplicate,

and the Insurance Commissioner shall forthwith, by registered mail,

send one copy thereof to the attorney for the underwriters at the

principal office designated in the application for license or latest

amendment thereof. The party commencing any action against the

underwriters at a Lloyd's and securing service of process in this

manner shall at the time of such service pay to such Insurance

Commissioner a fee of Three Dollars ($3.00), which the party shall

be entitled to collect as taxable costs in the action if he shall

prevail.
