§ 48.31.135. Recovery from reinsurers — Not reduced by delinquency proceedings — Direct payment to insured.

Payment made directly to an insured or other creditor does not diminish the reinsurer's obligation to the insurer's estate except when the reinsurance contract provided for direct coverage of a named insured and the payment was made in discharge of that obligation.
