How courts have described this case

• plaintiff had no justifiable controversy until he was billed for additional payments beyond date when he had been told policy would be self-sustaining
• insured's unripe fraud action should properly have been dismissed without *Page 565 prejudice in order to allow the insured to bring the action when it presented a justiciable controversy
• claims filed in December 1997 were not ripe because they were based on an alleged misrepresentation that no premium payments would be required after July 11, 1998
