Secured Transactions-Insurance-A Security Interest In The "Proceeds" Of Secured Collateral Does Not Include Insurance Proceeds-Universal C.I.T. Corp. V. Prudential Investment Corp., Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

In return for a loan, a debtor executed a promissory note to codefendant, Prudential Investment Corporation, and entered into a written agreement to secure this note, designating as collateral a semi-tractor and the proceeds therefrom. Under this type of arrangement, Prudential's security interest would attach automatically to any property received from a sale, exchange, or other disposition of the tractor. Petitioner, Universal C.I.T. Corp., held the conditional sales contract which was executed in financing the purchase of the tractor and was named as loss payee in the insurance contract covering the tractor. When the tractor was totally destroyed, petitioner collected …

Insurance Contracts - Waiver By Estoppel, Mark A. Rock

Duquesne Law Review

Surrender by an insured of the right to change the beneficiary of his life insurance policy creates a vested interest in the then designated beneficiary and an acceptance by the company of the insured's subsequent request to change the beneficiary constitutes a waiver of the prohibition against such change and an estoppel to deny liability to the new beneficiary.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage: Past, Present And Future, J. Cris Soich

Duquesne Law Review

The case of Harleysville Mutual Casualty Company v. Blumling is one of first impression in Pennsylvania and concerns the interpretation of the uninsured motorist coverage statute. Before dealing with the factual situation involved in this case, certain comments must be made concerning the legislation involved and its background. Only by reviewing the history of the general problem involved in this case can one obtain an understanding of the decision of the court and an appreciation of the true effect of that decision.

Title Insurance Aspects Of Tort Liability, Dean T. Lemley

Cleveland State Law Review

By reason of the adequate damages recoverable in contract by the insured, and because of safeguards of ethics and efficient methods of title examinations, underwriting practices, and sophisticated systems of document storage and retrieval, it would appear that tort liability will not become prevalent in the title industry. Since law is disposed to follow the needs of society, rather than to anticipate them, it seems logical that actions in tort liability will not be needed.

Avoidance Of P.I. Releases For Mutual Mistake: Recent Cases, Franklin Stafford Wearn Ii

Cleveland State Law Review

The purpose of this article is to determine the factors which currently persuade courts to set aside releases under the doctrine of mutual mistake. Therefore, cases involving fraud, misrepresentation, overreaching, or unilateral mistake are outside the scope, except as they shed light on the doctrine's application. We shall consider first those cases where there is thought to be no personal injury at the time of releasing, and then those where some personal injury is known, but where it could be said that there exists a material unknown injury. Let it be noted that, as will be shown, if the releasor …

Uninsured Motorist Defined, Henry A. Hentemann

Cleveland State Law Review

An attempt will be made to explore the court interpretations of the standard policy definition of "uninsured automobile." However, when reviewing such, three basic consider-tions must be borne in mind. One is that many states have so-called uninsured motorist statutes which contain purpose and intent sections upon which the courts may have relied in allowing a liberal construction to achieve the purpose intended by the legislature. The second is that simple contract law, without statutory influence, requires that the words employed be given their plain and commonly understood meaning. Thirdly, however, any ambiguity in an insurance contract, it being a …
