Reinsurance Contract Question Sent to Supreme Court
A hearing before Judge Fessenden in the equity session of the Superior Court addressed whether the Merchants and Manufacturers Life Association could lawfully reinsure with the fraternal Colonial Life Association. The case centers on the legality of such reinsurance for assessment companies under laws since 1820, with potential impact on past reinsurance since 1890. The judge declined to appoint a receiver, ordered a factual report, and referred the issue to the Supreme Court for broad ruling.
