New York Court of Appeals
In the Matter of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, Respondent v. Albert Conway, as Superintendent of Insurance…
January 7, 1930252 N.Y. 449
Summary
The Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's decision that Metropolitan Life Insurance Company's proposed rider limiting coverage for death resulting from aircraft service does not conflict with Insurance Law §101, subd. 2. The court held that the incontestability provision is a defensive mechanism, not a limitation on coverage, and therefore the rider is valid.
