Which term describes prohibiting unfair competition or deceptive acts?

• A. Cease and Desist Order
• B. Rebating
• C. Controlled Business
• D. Eligibility Points

Answer: (A)

Cease and Desist Order is the tool regulators use to halt unfair competition or deceptive acts in the insurance field. When a regulator finds misconduct, they issue this order to require the party to stop those practices immediately, protecting consumers and keeping the market fair. If the order isn’t followed, further enforcement or penalties can result. Rebating, while itself a prohibited practice, describes the misconduct rather than the action used to stop it. Controlled Business and Eligibility Points relate to other regulatory concepts (who policies are written for and licensing criteria, respectively) and don’t capture the idea of halting unfair or deceptive acts.
