A. In any matter involving the enforcement of the provisions of this Title in which the attorney general deems that the commissioner of insurance is acting improperly, or failing to act in a manner requiring action, he may petition the 19th Judicial District Court for a writ of mandamus to compel the commissioner of insurance to act in the manner provided by law.
B. Any such petition for a writ of mandamus shall be tried by preference, and the court shall hear the matter and rule on it within three court days, unless the parties shall mutually agree to an extension thereof.
C. If the court is of the opinion that the public interest requires it, it shall grant the writ and order the commissioner of insurance to take such action as the court finds to be appropriate. Failure of the commissioner of insurance to comply with such an order shall be punishable as contempt.
