Liquidation of an insurer refers to

Liquidation means winding down an insolvent insurer under a bankruptcy-type process where there aren’t enough assets to meet all claims. The insurer stops normal operations, its assets are sold, and the proceeds are distributed to creditors in a defined order of priority. This priority structure ensures that those with the most secure claims are paid first, followed by other creditors, rather than paying everyone equally or preserving the business. This contrasts with scenarios where the company is reorganized or continued with restructuring. The defining feature is the shortage of assets relative to liabilities, with payments made in a statutory priority sequence.
