Frequently Asked Questions - Rehabilitation

  • What is rehabilitation?
  • Under an Order of Rehabilitation, the Director of Insurance becomes Rehabilitator of an insurance company and, as Rehabilitator, is vested with title to the company's property, assets, rights of action or lawsuits, books, records and premises. Rehabilitation can be used as a mechanism by which the Rehabilitator tries to restructure or run-off the company's business.
