If, at any time prior to the rendering of a decision on an application, the commissioner makes a preliminary determination that the aggregate valid applications of all aggrieved persons against that licensee are likely to exceed the limits of liability in Section 10474, the commissioner shall, in lieu of further administrative proceedings, initiate a proration proceeding pursuant to Section 10474.5 in a superior court of any county in this state that would be a proper court for the filing of a denied application or writ of mandamus pursuant to Section 10471.5.
Notes
Requires the commissioner, before deciding a Recovery Account application, to start a superior-court proration proceeding instead of continuing administrative proceedings if the commissioner preliminarily determines that aggregate valid applications against the licensee are likely to exceed the applicable liability limits. The proceeding must be filed in a county that would be proper for specified denied-application or mandamus filings.
