Terms Used In Oregon Statutes 656.730
- Corporation: A legal entity owned by the holders of shares of stock that have been issued, and that can own, receive, and transfer property, and carry on business in its own name.
- 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
(a) Regardless of the rating plans adopted by any rating organization, the plan shall provide a rating structure with differing rate tiers for insureds too small to qualify for experience rating and for insureds large enough to be experience rated; and
(b) The plan shall seek and be entitled to receive approval for all classification exceptions approved by the director for any insurer.
(2) If any insurer issuing workers’ compensation insurance policies under this chapter refuses to accept its equitable apportionment under such plan, the director shall revoke the insurer’s authority to issue workers’ compensation insurance policies.
