Injunction Hearing on Mutual Life Insurance Case

In Wichita on Sept 12 the hearing on a permanent injunction against Attorney General Boyle and Webb McNall centered on whether Kansas can bar insurance companies from doing business here without proper licensing. Arguments compared the Mutual Life case to a prior Metropolitan Insurance case, with focus on state versus federal jurisdiction and the superintendent’s licensing powers. The court weighed whether the attorney general could be enjoined from proceedings that affect the company’s ability to obtain a license, and whether McNall’s actions were lawful under constitutional powers and prior rulings. The judge paused to consider the point of whether a federal court could override state licensing in these circumstances and indicated a forthcoming decision on these powers. The matter sets the stage for a possible Supreme Court appeal as to insurance supervision scope in Kansas.
