Insurance License Contest Against Superintendent Drake
The Home Fire Insurance Company and District corporation sue in District Supreme Court for a writ of mandamus to force Superintendent Drake to issue a license to operate in the District. The firm claims its application was denied and a rule was issued for why the writ should not be granted. Drake argues state law requires $100,000 paid up capital for fire insurers and that mutual companies must have a charter. Home Fire claims it cannot obtain a license under general law. The case follows hearings, opinions from the corporation counsel, and appeals to the District Commissioners, all sustaining the Insurance Department’s position.
