Insurance Law- Business And Investment Limitations - Authority Of Foreign Life Insurer To Acquire A Fire And Casualty Subsidiary, G. E. Oppenneer

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff, a Connecticut life insurer, proposed to acquire a controlling stock interest in a fire and casualty insurance company. The New York Superintendent of Insurance, supported by the state Attorney General, advised that plaintiff would thereby disqualify itself from doing business in the state under the business and investment limitations of the Insurance Law. Plaintiff sought a declaratory judgment that its proposal was permissible. The supreme court denied plaintiff's motion for summary judgment, granted defendant's cross-motion and dismissed the complaint; the appellate division affirmed. On appeal, held, reversed, three judges dissenting. The legislature did not intend to extend the …


Insurance -- 1961 Tennessee Survey, Robert N. Covington Oct 1961

Insurance -- 1961 Tennessee Survey, Robert N. Covington

Vanderbilt Law Review

The developments in the Tennessee law of insurance during the past year were important without being surprising. The various courts delivered opinions dealing with a number of the central issues in insurance law, especially in the field of risk control, and by and large followed the line of thinking established by past years. Many of the decisions are of less significance than one might suppose, because of their extreme involvement in particular fact situations.

Contacts - Subrogation - Partial Subrogation Of A Cause Of Action For Personal Injuries, Jerome M. Salle

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff, an incorporated home for the aged, provided all essential medical care to one of its residents under the provisions of a life-care contract between it and the resident. On the basis of a contract clause which purported to subrogate plaintiff to the right of the resident to recover medical expenses caused by the negligence of third parties, plaintiff brought an action to recover certain medical expenses incurred from the party who was allegedly responsible for the injuries and death of the resident. The trial court sustained a demurrer to the complaint for failure to state a cause of action …


Concurrent Causation In Insurance Contracts, William Conant Brewer Jr. Jun 1961

Concurrent Causation In Insurance Contracts, William Conant Brewer Jr.

Michigan Law Review

A great deal of work and thought has been devoted to concurrent causation problems in the field of torts. Less attention has been paid to the insurance cases, and no serious effort has been made to formulate the separate rules applicable to them. It is the thesis of this article that concurrent causation problems which arise under an insurance contract must be handled somewhat differently from those which arise in connection with tort litigation, and that the tendency to borrow rules of law from the larger tort field and apply them to the smaller volume of insurance cases can only …

Insurance-Regulation Under The Mccarran-Ferguson Act-Ftc Jurisdiction Not Ousted By A State Statute Proporting To Control Deceptive Advertising Mailed To Other States, Thomas D. Heekin

Michigan Law Review

Petitioner issued a cease-and-desist order prohibiting respondent from making statements in its advertising materials which violated the Federal Trade Commission Act. Respondent, a Nebraska health insurance company, mailed its circulars to residents of every state. The McCarran-Ferguson Act provides that "the Federal Trade Commission Act ... shall be applicable to the business of insurance to the extent that such business is not regulated by State law."

In an action to set aside the FTC cease-and-desist order, the Court of Appeals for the Eighth …

Insurance Company Interference In Personal Injury Law Practice, Sheldon E. Baskin Jan 1961

Insurance Company Interference In Personal Injury Law Practice, Sheldon E. Baskin

Cleveland State Law Review

The cloak of immunity that the insurance companies wear, and the fact that recently a trend has been noticed encouraging settlements, results in attorneys, finding their just fees diminished by the interference of third persons not in privity with the attorney-client contract, being compelled to find other means of redressing the wrongs thus perpetrated against them.
