(a) The commissioner, whenever satisfied that any such company has exceeded its powers or has failed to comply with this chapter, or is conducting its business fraudulently, or that in the commissioner's judgment its financial condition is unsound, or that it is not maintaining the required amount of net surplus or unimpaired guaranty capital and reserve, shall have the duty to present the facts relating thereto to the attorney general and reporter, who shall, if the attorney general and reporter deems the circumstances warrant, commence an action in quo warranto or an action of that nature in any court of competent jurisdiction nearest to the company's domicile; and, if upon the trial, the court finds that the allegations in the petition are true and that legal grounds exist therefor, the company shall be enjoined from doing further business; provided, that the company shall have reasonable notice served upon it by the commissioner and shall be given reasonable opportunity and time to show cause why the proceedings should not be commenced and to make good any impairment in its guaranty capital or reserve.
(b) Whenever, in the opinion of the court, the company should not be permitted longer to transact business, the court shall appoint a receiver for the purpose of winding up its business as in other cases of receivership in this state.
