Richard Cox v. Casco Indemnity Company

Held June 22, 2010 - Docket No. INS-10-2045
Decision Issued: July 12, 2010

The named insured requested a hearing to contest the cancellation of his automobile insurance policy for a driver’s license suspension. The company demonstrated that the driver’s license was suspended during the policy term.

Held: For the company. 24-A M.R.S.A. § 2914(4) permits cancellation or nonrenewal of an automobile insurance policy if a driver’s license has been suspended or revoked during the policy term. The policy contract also included that reason as a basis for cancellation. Although the insured’s license was reinstated, the suspension remains on his record. As the company met all statutory notice requirements and is not one of the exceptions provided in statute, the cancellation action is permitted.
