The commissioner shall issue a permit if he finds that:
(a) The proposed plan of business of the applicant and the proposed issuance of securities are fair, just, and equitable.
Terms Used In California Insurance Code 839
- Commissioner: means the Insurance Commissioner of this State. See California Insurance Code 20
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- Fraud: Intentional deception resulting in injury to another.
(b) The applicant intends fairly and honestly to transact its business, and
(c) The securities the applicant proposes to issue and the methods to be used by it in issuing or disposing of them are such as, in his opinion, will not work a fraud upon the purchaser thereof, or upon policyholders or other security holders of applicant.
Otherwise, he shall deny the application and notify the applicant in writing of his decision.
