A Florida appeals court last week said that Allstate can keep doing business in the state, putting off a final decision on whether Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty has cause to lift the insurer's license.
Mr. McCarty issued a suspension order on Jan. 17, but the company went to the First District Court of Appeal in Tallahassee and secured a temporary restraining order, which is in effect until an expedited appeal is heard.
The court, in rejecting an immediate lifting of its stay of the commissioner's order, said it was expediting a final appeal process. On Jan. 31, the court directed the filing of a record within 15 days, the initial brief within 10 days after that, the answer brief 10 days after that, and the reply brief five days thereafter.
