AFFECTS INSURANCE. POLICIES.
APPELLATE DIVISIONS DECISION IN CASE
AGAINST EQUITABLE SOCIETY

A case Of interest to holders OF tontine policies
OF life insurance has been decided by the Appellate
Division of the Supreme Court in this city.
Mary Hackett, OF Pittsburg, held a policy issued
by the Equitable Life Assurance Society upon what
Is known as the semi-tontine plan. BY the terms
OF the policy it was provided that at the end of
nfteen years from its date. all premiums thereon
being paid, the holder Of the policy might with
draw her entire share of the assets Of the company
that is TO say. the reserve held by the company
on account of the policy. together with her equita-
BILE share of all profits realized by the company
from all policies of that class issued
At the expiration of this period the holder of the
policy told the company of her desire to withdraw
her share of the assets of the company in cash
The company told her what amount it was willing
TO pay, which much less than the amount
which she alleged she had been led to expect she
would receive. She brought action against the
company for damages which she alleged she had
suffered by reason of the alleged breach of con-
tract In the complaint she alleged that the COM
pany had not apportioned to her the equitable
share of all the profits derived by it from that
class OF insurance but had carried some portion of
such surplus to which she was entitled to the ac-
count OF the general surplus of the company. then
aggregat ting 100000 She alleged by the pro-
visions of the policy she entitled a ratabe
share of all the profits realized by the company
from that class of insurance
The company demurred upon the ground that
policyholder could not maintain action of this
nature against the company. 1t asserted that
such an action involved necessarily an accounting
in respect of the business of the company, and
that such suit could not be maintained except al
the Instance OF the Acknowledgement CT the State.
1t was also set forth that the company might de-
ternine IN its discretion what amount of the
plus realized by it should be distributed to the
polcYhoderS and that such determination. when
made. was conclusive. Upon these points it was
ccntended that the decision of the Court Of Ap-
peals in the of Greef against the Equitable
Life Assurance Society was controlling authority,
in which similar demurrer sustained.
Ju.tice Gildersleeve. before whom the argument
on the demurrer was first heard decided that this
oVerruled the demurrer
An appeal taken to the Appellate Division.
and that court by a unanimous decision has
affirmed the decision of Justice Gildersleeve.
