238. Any amount due by an insurer to an insured or beneficiary under a policy issued in Québec may form the object of a claim with the Inspector General if it remains unpaid for more than sixty days and if the insured or beneficiary has offered the insurer a discharge for payment.
On receiving such claim, the Inspector General shall investigate the reasons for non-payment and, if there is no justification, put the insurer in default to make the payment within a delay of ten days.
