Subchapter 002 : Sponsored Captive Insurance Companies

• § 6039. Claimant recourse

  (a) Consistent with the provisions of this subchapter, a creditor of a sponsored captive insurance company shall have recourse against the assets attributable to a protected cell if, and only if it is a creditor of the protected cell. A creditor of a protected cell shall not be entitled to recourse against the assets attributable to any other protected cell or to the assets in the sponsored captive insurance company’s general account.

  (b) When a sponsored captive insurance company has an obligation to a creditor arising from a transaction, or otherwise imposed, with respect to a particular protected cell, the obligation:

  (1) shall extend only to the assets attributable to that protected cell, and the creditor shall be entitled to recourse only against the assets attributable to that protected cell; and

  (2) shall not extend to the assets of any other protected cell or to the assets in the sponsored captive insurance company’s general account, and the creditor shall not be entitled to recourse against the assets attributable to any other protected cell or to the assets of the sponsored captive insurance company’s general account.

  (c) When an obligation of a sponsored captive insurance company relates solely to its general account, a creditor shall have recourse only against the assets in the general account.

  (d) The establishment of one or more protected cells alone, and without more, shall not constitute or be deemed to be a fraudulent conveyance, an intent by the sponsored captive insurance company to defraud creditors, or the carrying out of business by the sponsored captive insurance company for any other fraudulent purpose.
