All proceedings in which an insolvent insurer is a party in a court in this state shall be stayed 60 days from the date an order of liquidation, rehabilitation, or conservation is final to permit proper legal action by the association on a matter germane to the association's powers or duties. If a judgment under a decision, order, verdict, or finding is based on default, the association may apply to have the judgment set aside by the same court that made the judgment and shall be permitted to defend in the action on the merits.
