The Missouri Supreme Court ruled unanimously that about 1.75 million dollars in impounded fire premiums from the 167 percent rate case must be refunded to policyholders on a pro rata basis. The money, under Insurance Superintendent Robertson, requires no further court authority for distribution, and no expenses may be charged against the fund.
