Michigan Law Review

The policy also contained a double indemnity clause. The insured died under circumstances leaving it doubtful whether the double amount should be paid.

Penal proceedings were instituted against plaintiff for failure to comply with the insurance laws. He brought an action to enjoin prosecution of the proceedings. It was held that the contracts were not insurance contracts and that plaintiff was entitled to the injunction.

Reed v. Bloom, (D. C. Okla. 1936) 15 F. Supp. 600.

The court held that the beneficiary was entitled to recover under the public policy as declared in the constitutional provision against corruption of blood and forfeiture of estate. Progressive Life Insurance Co. v. Dean, (Ark. 1936) 97 S. W. (2d) 62.

Insurance - Life Insurance -Waiver Of Premiums During Disability, Charles W. Allen
Michigan Law Review
Action by guardian of the insured, who had become insane, for disability benefits under a life insurance policy and for a decree that the policy had not lapsed. The policy contained a typical provision for waiver of premiums and benefit payments during disability. No proof of disability was made until after default in premium payments. Held, that the insured's insanity did not excuse the failure to make proof before default and the policy had lapsed. Reingold v. New York Life Ins. Co., (C. C. A. 9th, 1936) 85 F. (2d) 776.
