Petition for in camera hearing - Contents
Official statutory text
A. Within thirty (30) days after the Insurance Commissioner,
district attorney, Attorney General, or opposing party in a civil,
criminal or administrative proceeding, serves on an insurer a
written request by certified mail for disclosure of an insurance
compliance self-evaluative audit document under this act, the
company that prepared or caused the document to be prepared may file
with the appropriate court a petition requesting an in camera
hearing on whether the insurance compliance self-evaluative audit
document or portions of the document are privileged or subject to
disclosure. Failure by the company to file a petition waives the
privilege for this request only.
B. A company asserting the insurance compliance self-evaluative
privilege in response to a request for disclosure under this act
shall include in its request for an in camera hearing all of the
information set forth in subsection E of this section.
C. Upon the filing of a petition under this section, the court
shall issue an order scheduling, within forty-five (45) days after
the filing of the petition, an in camera hearing to determine
whether the insurance compliance self-evaluative audit document or
portions of the document are privileged under this section or
subject to disclosure.
D. The court, after an in camera review, may require disclosure
of material for which the privilege in Section 1 of this act is
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 36. Insurance Page 1376
asserted if the court determines, based upon its in camera review,
that any one of the conditions set forth in subsection B of Section
2 of this act is applicable as to a civil or administrative
proceeding or that any one of the conditions set forth in subsection
C of Section 2 of this act is applicable as to a criminal
proceeding. Upon making such a determination, the court may only
compel the disclosure of those portions of an insurance compliance
self-evaluative audit document relevant to issues in dispute in the
underlying proceeding. Any compelled disclosure will not be
considered to be a public document or be deemed to be a waiver of
the privilege for any other civil, criminal, or administrative
proceeding. A party unsuccessfully opposing disclosure may apply to
the court for an appropriate order protecting the document from
further disclosure.
E. A company asserting the insurance compliance self-evaluative
privilege in response to a request for disclosure under this act
shall provide to the Insurance Commissioner, district attorney,
Attorney General, or opposing party in a civil, criminal or
administrative proceeding, as the case may be, at the time of filing
any objection to the disclosure, all of the following information:
1. The date of the insurance compliance self-evaluative audit
document;
2. The identity of the entity conducting the audit;
3. The general nature of the activities covered by the
insurance compliance self-evaluative audit; and
4. An identification of the portions of the insurance
compliance self-evaluative audit document for which the privilege is
being asserted.
