17:46B-19. Net retained liability

The net retained liability of any title insurance company under any single insurance risk as defined in subsections j. and k. of section 1 of this act shall not exceed the net amount remaining after deducting from the sum of its capital, surplus, statutory premium reserve and voluntary reserves, the value, if any, assigned in such summation to its title plants, all as shown in its most recent report on file with the commissioner. The same limitation shall apply to any secondary risk assumed by means of reinsurance or to any policy of excess coinsurance.

Nothing in this section is intended to limit the amount of a single insurance risk, as defined in subsection j. of section 1 of this act, that may be written or assumed by a title insurance company, provided it shall cede to one or more other title insurance companies, on or before the effective date of such writing or assumption, such portion, or portions, of the said risk as shall be sufficient to bring its net retained liability thereunder within the limits hereinabove set forth; and provided, further, that each such cession of risk shall also be within the limits of this section as applied to the sum of the capital, surplus, statutory premium reserve and voluntary reserves, less the value, if any, assigned in such summation to the title plants of the assuming and reinsuring title insurance company, as shown by its most recent report on file with the supervisory agency in the state of its domicile.
