Maine Quebec court clash over life insurance reach
The U S Supreme Court ruled the Maine Quebec life insurance dispute involving Jean Tremblay was outside federal jurisdiction. Quebec courts had awarded 2000 to J B Clouthier by assignment while Maine courts voided the Quebec judgment and awarded the money to Patrick Tremblay of Lewiston. The decision says state courts need not give full faith and credit to foreign judgments, even if constitutional credit is due to other states.
