Legislative intent on mutual life insurer dividends in five year rule
The affiant cites that the law requires mutual life insurance companies to distribute surplus earnings to policy holders at least every five years and prohibits deferring dividends beyond five years. It argues the statute 1942 of 1898 intended to prevent longer deferral and ensure equitable distribution among policy holders, noting historically no company deferred beyond five years in 1870.
