Allstate today obtained a temporary appeals court stay of Florida Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty's order suspending their right to do business in the state.
The First District Court of Appeal in Tallahassee issued a temporary injunction after the Northbrook, Ill.-based insurer filed a motion accusing Mr. McCarty of acting unconstitutionally, abusing his powers and "taking punitive vindictive measures under the guise of a so-called emergency."
Mr. McCarty issued the suspension order yesterday after Allstate failed to deliver reams of material about the insurer's business he had sought with a subpoena, including information about "improper claims handling processes."
