§ 7078. Disputed claims
(a) When a claim is denied in whole or in part by the liquidator, written notice of the
determination shall be given to the claimant or the claimant’s attorney by first-class
mail at the address shown in the proof of claim. Within 60 days from the mailing
of the notice, the claimant may file objections with the liquidator. If no such filing
is made, the claimant may not further object to the determination.
(b) Whenever objections are filed with the liquidator and the liquidator does not alter
his or her denial of the claim as a result of the objections, the liquidator shall
ask the court for a hearing as soon as practicable and give notice of the hearing
by first-class mail to the claimant or the claimant’s attorney and to any other persons
directly affected, not less than ten nor more than 30 days before the date of the
hearing. The matter may be heard by the court or by a court-appointed referee who
shall submit findings of fact along with a recommendation. (Added 1991, No. 45, § 2, eff. May 29, 1991.)
