Supreme Court Sends Insurance Settlement Back to Lower Court
The Kansas Supreme Court ruled it has only appellate jurisdiction over the 1920s era fire insurance rate case and sent the settlement back to Shawnee County district court. It said the trial court handles rate orders and that the superintendent of insurance has authority to approve changes without further judicial sanction. The decision involved refunding about 3 million dollars in impounded premiums and adjusting rate schedules. The court retained jurisdiction on bonds from the 1927 order.
