Taylor v. Charter Oak Life Insurance

59 How. Pr. 468

Opinion

Beach, J. —

I have serious doubt as to the jurisdiction of this court to entertain this action against the defendant, a foreign corporation.

The admitted fact that the policy had lapsed by the nonpayment of premium before the commencement of this suit, disposes of the plaintiff’s claimed right of action for the recovery of premiums paid.

There was no trust between the parties by virtue of the policy, and the relief demanded, based upon the existence of that relationship, cannot, therefore, be obtained.

Judgment for the defendant on demurrer, with costs.
