Tennessee Code 56-20-112 – Notice of exclusion and cancellation – Repayment of equitable portion of unearned premiums of cancelled policy
Terms Used In Tennessee Code 56-20-112
- Corporation: A legal entity owned by the holders of shares of stock that have been issued, and that can own, receive, and transfer property, and carry on business in its own name.
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- Person: means any association, aggregate of individuals, business, company, corporation, individual, joint-stock company, Lloyds-type organization, organization, partnership, receiver, reciprocal or interinsurance exchange, trustee or society. See Tennessee Code 56-16-102
If any member of the corporation is excluded therefrom as provided in § 56-20-110, and the policy issued to such member cancelled, the secretary shall at once enter the action, with date thereof, upon the records of the association, and, either in person or by mail, notify the member of the exclusion, and, if by mail, the postage shall be prepaid and the notice be addressed to the office given in the application or policy. From and after the personal notice, or five (5) days after mailing the notice, as required in this section, the policy shall be cancelled, and all liability on the policy shall cease, but the owner shall be entitled to receive from the corporation a repayment of an equitable portion of all unearned money to which the member has contributed, if any.
