The commission may defend any action on behalf of the fund and shall have recourse to all appropriate means of defense and review including examination of witnesses. The commission may move the court at any time to dismiss the application if it appears there are no triable issues and the petition is without merit. The motion may be supported by affidavit of any person having knowledge of the facts and may be made on the basis that the petition, and the judgment referred to therein, does not form the basis for a meritorious recovery claim within the purview of §§ 36-21A-101 to 36-21A-115 , inclusive. The commission shall give written notice to the applicant and judgment debtor ten days before the date set for hearing such motion. The commission may, subject to court approval, compromise a claim based upon the application of an aggrieved party. It is not bound by any prior compromise or stipulation of the judgment debtor.
