McMillon v. Old Republic Life Insurance Co.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• special Illinois statute, but court held insurer did not “accept” payment where machine automatically deposited check but promptly issued refund
• “[W]e hold that for there to be acceptance within the meaning of [section 357.5], there must be more than receipt and automatic negotiation by the insurer of a late premium payment.”
• negotiation of check but money refunded with letter notifying that policy lapsed
• in the absence of some retention of the payment by the insurer, or other action by it, which is inconsistent with its claim that it did not accept the late payment, mere receipt and automatic negotiation by the insurer of a late payment does not constitute a waiver
