- Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
- Settlement: Parties to a lawsuit resolve their difference without having a trial. Settlements often involve the payment of compensation by one party in satisfaction of the other party's claims.
(b) Whenever, by the provisions of this chapter, the superintendent has approved any life settlement contract form, application form, or any other form, the superintendent may, after notice and hearing given to the life settlement provider that submitted the form for approval, withdraw an approval previously given if:
(1) the use of the form is contrary to the requirements applicable to the form at the time of such withdrawal, or
(2) it contains provisions that are unjust, unfair or inequitable.
Any withdrawal of approval shall be effective at the expiration of such period, at least ninety days after the giving of notice of withdrawal or as the superintendent shall in such notice prescribe.
