Ceding insurer to be allowed credit if reinsurance lawfully ceded to qualified assuming insurer; domiciliary liquidator of insolvent ceding insurer to give notice to assuming insurer of any claim against ceding insurer.
Nev. Rev. Stat. § 681A.230
in effect1. Credit must be allowed as an asset or as a deduction from liability to any ceding insurer for reinsurance lawfully ceded to an assuming insurer qualified therefor pursuant to NRS 681A.110 and 681A.150 to 681A.190 , inclusive, but no such credit may be allowed unless the contract for reinsurance provides in substance that, in the event of the insolvency of the ceding insurer, the reinsurance is payable pursuant to a contract reinsured by the assuming insurer on the basis of reported claims allowed in any liquidation proceedings, subject to court approval, without diminution because of the insolvency of the ceding insurer. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 686C.223 , those payments must be made directly to the ceding insurer or to its domiciliary liquidator unless:
(a) The contract of reinsurance or other written contract specifically designates another payee of the payments in the event of the insolvency of the ceding insurer; or
(b) The assuming insurer, with the consent of the persons directly insured, has assumed the obligations from the policies issued by the ceding insurer as direct obligations of the assuming insurer, and in substitution for the obligations of the ceding insurer, to the payees under those policies.
2. The domiciliary liquidator of an insolvent ceding insurer shall give written notice to the assuming insurer of the pendency of any claim against the ceding insurer on any contract reinsured within a reasonable time after such a claim is filed in the liquidation proceeding. During the pendency of the claim, the assuming insurer may investigate the claim and, at its own expense, interpose in the proceeding in which the claim is to be adjudicated any defense that the assuming insurer deems available to the ceding insurer or its liquidator.
