General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
California Auto. Assn. v. Maloney, 341 U.S. 105 (1951)
California State Automobile Association Inter-Insurance Bureau v. Maloney No. 310 Argued March 8, 1951 Decided April 23, 1951 341 U.S. 105
APPEAL FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF CALIFORNIA,
FIRST APPELLATE DISTRICT
Syllabus
The California Compulsory Assigned Risk Law requires all insurers transacting liability insurance in the State to participate in a plan for the equitable apportionment among them of those applicants for automobile liability insurance who are in good faith entitled to such insurance (to enable them to retain drivers’ licenses) but are unable to procure it through ordinary methods. Uninsurable risks are excluded from the plan, policies issued may be limited to coverages of $5,000-$10,000, and premiums commensurate with abnormal risks may be charged. Appellant is an unincorporated association engaged in writing reciprocal liability insurance solely for members of an automobile club having a selected membership, and the plan would require it to write insurance for nonmembers of the club who are poor risks.
Held: as applied to appellant, the statute does not violate the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Pp. 106-111.
96 Cal.App.2d 876, 216 P.2d 882, affirmed.
