Missouri Risk Firm Files Writ of Prohibition
A writ of prohibition to halt the state insurance department from pursuing a threatened receivership of Public National Life Insurance Company of Joplin was filed in Cole County Circuit Court today by its local attorneys. The suit names state Superintendent of Insurance R Emmet O Malley and six department officials as defendants and argues the department seeks to harass the company, which claims solvency with over 940,000 in surplus and no pending death claims, while a receivership could void about 7,000,000 in policies.
