International Law - Recognition Of Soviet Russia - Extraterritorial Effect Of Decrees Of Confiscation And Nationalization

Michigan Law Review

The Moscow Fire Insurance Company, the Northern Insurance Company of Moscow, and the First Russian Insurance Company were incorporated in Russia under the Czarist regime, and given authority to do business in New York. Deposits were made in New York for the benefit of policy holders and creditors in this country. Subsequent to the revolution in Russia and the Soviet decrees nationalizing all Russian corporations and confiscating without compensation such corporations' assets in Russia and abroad, these deposits were turned over to the New York State Insurance Commissioner for liquidation. Large sums remained after domestic claims were satisfied and the …

Taxation-Federal Estate Tax-Inclusion Of Proceeds Of Insurance Policies In The Gross Estate Jun 1936

Taxation-Federal Estate Tax-Inclusion Of Proceeds Of Insurance Policies In The Gross Estate

Michigan Law Review

It was only natural that the framers of our revenue acts, always on the lookout for new sources of revenue, should have turned their attention to the proceeds of insurance policies when they were dealing with the subject of death duties. It was natural for two reasons: first, the purchase of an insurance policy is nearly always prompted by some vague contemplation of death, and the receipt of the proceeds from a policy is intimately connected with death, in view of the fact that death normally is the event that brings about the maturity of the policy; and second, if …

Bankruptcy-Disposition Of Insurance Policy Assigned To Beneficiary

Michigan Law Review

Mrs. Humphrey was the beneficiary in an insurance policy taken out by her husband on his own life. He assigned this policy to her at a time when it was pledged to the insurance company for loans slightly in excess of the cash surrender value. Mr. Humphrey died after Mrs. Humphrey had filed her voluntary petition in bankruptcy. Held, the policy is not an asset of the bankrupt estate, but belongs to Mrs. Humphrey rather than the trustee.

Carriers - Limitation Of Liability For Negligence -True Valuation Agreement Jan 1936

Carriers - Limitation Of Liability For Negligence -True Valuation Agreement

Michigan Law Review

Approximately one-seventh of a shipment of cherries in brine was lost owing to improper stowage. Award of damages was resisted on the ground that the bills of lading provided for adjustment of claims "on the basis of the invoice value of the entire shipment adding expenses necessarily incurred," and that because of favorable market conditions existing at destination the entire value of the sound cherries exceeded the invoice value. Held, the quoted clause was not a genuine limitation agreement, which is valid, but a "true valuation" clause, which, since it may wholly exonerate the carrier from liability for negligence, …

Contracto-Impossibility As An Excuse For Failure To Perform Conditions In Insurance Policies Requiring Notice Of Loss Dec 1935

Contracto-Impossibility As An Excuse For Failure To Perform Conditions In Insurance Policies Requiring Notice Of Loss

Michigan Law Review

Policies of insurance invariably contain provisions to the effect that, upon occurrence of the event insured against, notice thereof shall be given to the insurer. As in the normal contract, such condition qualifies the undertaking of the promisor unless its performance is legally excused. In actions for breach of promise, impossibility of performance has been held to constitute a good defense to the suit for damages in certain instances, though the early rule was that payment of damages was never impossible and hence impossibility of performance was no defense in an action for breach. It is to be noted that …

Insurance - Friendly Fires - Cigarette Scorch Claims Nov 1935

Insurance - Friendly Fires - Cigarette Scorch Claims

Michigan Law Review

The plaintiff had insured certain household goods against fire under a standard policy with the defendant company. One day a burning cigarette was found beneath a smoking-stand and on a rug which was included among the insured articles; it had burned a small hole in the rug, for which damage the defendant company refused to pay and plaintiff brought suit. The company claimed that the fire in the cigarette was a "friendly" fire, and that in order to show a right to a recovery the plaintiff must prove that the damage was done by a secondary, or "hostile," fire set …

Fraudulent Conveyances - Change Of Beneficiary Of Life Insurance Policy Formerly Payable To Insured's Estate

Michigan Law Review

An insurance company filed a bill of interpleader to determine disposition of the proceeds of a term policy on the life of one Fitzpatrick, now deceased. Claimants are the administrator, representing creditors, and the deceased's two sons. The policy had been issued payable to insured's estate, but reserved the right to change the beneficiary. A few days before his death (by suicide) deceased sent the company an application for change of beneficiary to his two minor sons. He was then hopelessly insolvent, and the administrator claims that the change of beneficiary was a fraudulent conveyance within the terms of the …

Intent To Deceive In Applications For Insurance Policies, Leo D. Bloch Apr 1935

Intent To Deceive In Applications For Insurance Policies, Leo D. Bloch

Washington Law Review

In any type of insurance, the determination of the insurance company to assume the risk with regard to any particular person or thing is based on the application submitted by the person desiring the insurance. It is through the medium of the application that the company secures the information which it desires with regard to the particular risk. Logically, therefore, the insurance company should be protected if incorrect statements are made in the application. On the other hand, the insured is entitled to be protected by the insurance when he has been paying premiums and basing his conduct on the …
