New York Court of Appeals

Louise Roehner, Appellant v. the Knickerbocker Life Insurance Company, Respondent

November 9, 187563 N.Y. 160

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's judgment for the insurer, holding that the promissory note was due on April 11, 1870, that non‑payment of the premium or the note automatically voided the policy without notice, and that the insurer was not required to demand payment before enforcing forfeiture.
