Sec 20-694. Stay of proceedings; reopening default judgments

All proceedings in which the impaired insurer or insolvent insurer or the impaired insurer's or insolvent insurer's insured is a party in any court in this state shall be stayed sixty days from the date an order of liquidation, rehabilitation or conservation is final to permit proper legal action by the board on any matters germane to its powers or duties. At the request of the board and on a showing of good cause, the court may lengthen the stay prescribed in this section. As to a judgment under any decision, order, verdict or finding based on default, the board may apply to have such judgment set aside by the same court that made such judgment and shall be permitted to defend against such suit on the merits.
