§601.21. Judicial review; mandamus
A. Any person aggrieved by any act, determination, rule, regulation, or order or any
other action of the commissioner pursuant to this Subpart may appeal to the Nineteenth
Judicial District Court in and for the parish of East Baton Rouge. The court shall conduct its
review without a jury and by trial de novo, except that if all parties, including the
commissioner, so stipulate, the review shall be confined to the record. Portions of the record
may be introduced by stipulation into evidence in a trial de novo as to those parties so
stipulating.
B. The filing of an appeal pursuant to this Section shall stay the application of any
rule, regulation, order, or other action of the commissioner to the appealing party unless the
court, after giving the party notice and an opportunity to be heard, determines that a stay
would be detrimental to the interest of policyholders, shareholders, creditors, or the public.
C. Any person aggrieved by any failure of the commissioner to act or make a
determination required by this Subpart may petition the Nineteenth Judicial District Court
in and for the parish of East Baton Rouge for a writ of mandamus directing the commissioner
to act or make a determination forthwith.
