§2043.1. Actions by and against the receiver
A. No prior wrongful or negligent actions of any present or former officer, manager, director, trustee, owner, employee, or agent of the insurer may be asserted as a defense to a claim by the receiver under a theory of estoppel, comparative fault, intervening cause, proximate cause, reliance, mitigation of damages, or otherwise. However, the affirmative defense of fraud in the inducement may be asserted against the receiver in a claim based on a contract. A principal under a surety bond or a surety undertaking shall be entitled to credit against any reimbursement obligation to the receiver for the value of any property pledged to secure the reimbursement obligation to the extent that the receiver has possession or control of the property or the insurer or its agents misappropriated or commingled such property. Evidence of fraud in the inducement shall be admissible only if it is contained in the records of the insurer.
B. No action or inaction by the insurance regulatory authorities may be asserted as a defense to a claim by the receiver.
C. There shall be no liability on the part of, and no cause of action of any nature shall arise against, the department or its employees, or the commissioner or his designee in his capacity as receiver, liquidator, rehabilitator or conservator, or otherwise, or any special deputy, the receiver's assistants or contractors, or the attorney general's office for any action taken by them in performance of their powers and duties under this Code.
