All proceedings in which the impaired insurer is a party in any court in this state shall be stayed one hundred eighty days from the date an order of liquidation, rehabilitation, or conservation is final to permit proper legal action by the association on any matters germane to its powers or duties. As to a judgment under any decision, order, verdict, or finding based on default, the association may apply to have such judgment set aside by the same court that made such judgment and shall be permitted to defend against such suit on the merits. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to limit the powers of a receiver appointed pursuant to the Nebraska Insurers Supervision, Rehabilitation, and Liquidation Act, or to stay any proceeding brought pursuant to such act.
