Rescission of Life Insurance Policies in Texas—Time to Correct Some Old Errors

THE STATUTORY INCONTESTABLE CLAUSE ............................148 IV. THE RECODIFICATION OF THE TEXAS INSURANCE CODE ........156 V. CONCLUSION...........................................................................169 I. INTRODUCTION For over seventy years, Texas courts have required an insurer seeking to rescind a life insurance policy to show (among other elements) that the insured had the “intent to deceive” the insurer into issuing the coverage.1 In adopting this requirement, Texas courts have followed the minority view; in *B.A., Southern Methodist University; J.D., The University of Texas School of Law.

Unless otherwise indicated, all emphases are the author’s. 1 See Union Bankers Ins. Co. v. Shelton, 889 S.W.2d 278, 281–82 (Tex. 1994) (observing that “[t]he proposition that an insured’s intent to deceive is likewise required is well established in the common law of this state”). In Shelton, the Texas Supreme Court cited Lion Fire Insurance Co. v. Starr, 71 Tex. 733, 12 S.W. 45, 46 (1888), which involved a personal property fire insurance policy, as the first case to announce this rule, and in 1933, the Texas Commission of Appeals extended this requirement to life insurance policies.

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE NEW PENAL LAWS OF NEW YORK AND MICHIGAN B. J. GEORGE, JR.* F imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then the drafters of the New York Penal Law should feel flattered, at least by those responsible for pre- paring the proposed Michigan Criminal Code.1 A comparison of the New York statute with the Michigan draft shows substantial similarities in approach, or- ganization and technical terminology, a fact regularly acknowledged in the com- mentaries to the Michigan provisions. There is in fact historical precedent for this. Much early Michigan legisla- tion in the 1840's and 1850's was adapted from the then-new New York codes, and New York decisions were relied on in interpreting the new legislation. -
