1. The court, upon the application of the receiver, shall establish claims procedures and shall limit and may extend the time for the presentation of claims against the receivership, and notice thereof shall be given in such manner as said court shall direct; and any creditor neglecting to present his claim within the time so limited shall be debarred of all right to share in the assets of the insurer.

2. Claims presented against the receivership shall be reviewed by the receiver. The receiver shall either consent to the claim in whole or in part or shall contest the claim.

A written notice of his consent shall be given to the claimant or his attorney by first class mail at the address shown in the proof of claim. Whenever the receiver objects to all or any portion of the claim, the claim shall be subject to the provisions of section 375.1214.

3. This section shall apply only to proceedings instituted before August 28, 1991.
