§ 3931.04.
Action on any contract of indemnity made by an attorney under section 3931.01 of the Revised Code , actions to recover taxes, and all other actions, may be brought against the attorney
in the county in which the cause of action arises, or in which the claimant resides. In any such action against such attorney summons and process shall be served on
the superintendent of insurance and must be made in duplicate; when so made such
summons and process have the same effect as if it had been served on such attorney
and his subscribers personally, and judgment shall be rendered accordingly. By receipt of his license, every such attorney appoints the superintendent the agent
and attorney for himself and for his subscribers to accept service of such summons
and process, and such authority shall continue so long as any liability remains outstanding
in this state against the attorney or his subscribers on any such contracts of indemnity
issued by any such attorney or his subscribers. Upon filing his declaration, the attorney shall deliver to the superintendent an
instrument executed by him for all his subscribers, stipulating the authority in this
section relating to actions and process. When any such summons or other process is served on the superintendent, he shall
forthwith forward by registered mail prepaid one of the duplicate copies, directed
to the attorney at his principal office as designated in his declaration or amendment
thereof. The party commencing such action shall, at the time of such service, pay to the
superintendent for the use of the state a fee of two dollars, which shall be refunded
to such party as part of the taxable costs if he prevails in the action.
