Who represents an individual in court for a licensing infraction?

In the context of a licensing infraction, the Commissioner represents the interests of the state or relevant regulatory body in court. This official oversees the enforcement of insurance laws and regulations, and is responsible for ensuring that individuals and businesses comply with the licensing requirements.

The Commissioner has the authority to take action against licensees who fail to adhere to regulations, which may include filing charges or proceedings against them in a court of law. While a defense attorney may represent the individual accused of a licensing infraction, it is the Commissioner who acts on behalf of the regulatory authority to uphold the laws governing insurance practice.

The other options do not fulfill this specific role: a defense attorney represents the individual; an insurance adjuster typically assesses claims, and a superior court judge presides over court cases but does not represent parties in the case. Therefore, the correct answer focuses on the role of the Commissioner as the representative entity enforcing licensing standards in court.
