3. In all summary proceedings and judicial reviews thereof, all records of the insurer, other
documents, and all insurance bureau files and court records and papers, so far as they pertain to or are
part of the record of the summary proceedings, are and remain confidential except as necessary to obtain
compliance therewith, unless the court after hearing arguments by the parties in chambers orders
otherwise, or unless the insurer requests that the matter be made public. Until the court otherwise orders,
all papers filed with the clerk of court must be held by the clerk of court in a confidential file.

terms as may be reasonable and just.
