(b) Directly to the Member; or
(c) To its liquidator, receiver or statutory successor.
1308.4

An exception to subsection 1308.3 shall apply when the Facility, with the consent of the insured under the reinsured policy, as evidenced by endorsement, has assumed the policy obligations of the Member as direct obligations of the Facility to the payees under the policy and as a substitute for the obligations of the Member to the payees.

The expense incurred by the Facility shall be chargeable subject to court approval against the insolvent Member as part of the expense of liquidation to the extent of a proportionate share of the benefit that may accrue to the Member solely as a result of the defense undertaken by the Facility.
