Motion to Revive Insurance Injunction Denied By Sevier
Judge Nike G Sevier of the Missouri Circuit Court ruled the proposed revival of the fire insurance surcharge injunction void. The 13 percent retroactive increase, dated five years prior, was declared unconstitutional and in derogation of common rights. About 500000 policyholders' funds were impounded, with $4750000 in excess premiums already tied up. The court ordered the impounded funds disbursed to policyholders, sustaining a prior judgment. a separate federal case involving 73 companies remains pending in Kansas City with about $9 million impounded. A three judge federal court was asked to approve a proposed settlement allocating 20 percent to policyholders and the rest to insurers, agents, counsel, and costs.
