Allstate may write policies for weekend, at least

That silence you hear from the 1st District Court of Appeal means Allstate Corp. can continue writing new insurance policies in Florida. For how long, no one is sure.
“I guess we’ll have at least until Monday,’’ Allstate spokeswoman Amy Moore said Friday.
Allstate asked the court Monday for a new hearing, but the court has yet to make a ruling. The Illinois insurer is trying to fight an order by Florida insurance commissioner Kevin McCarty that suspends the company from writing new policies until it hands over documents regulators say are key to an investigation of Allstate’s rate-making practices.
Allstate has managed to avoid the suspension since January.
