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.
Swing v. Weston Lumber Co., 205 U.S. 275 (1907)
Swing v. Weston Lumber Company No 145 Argued January 10, 1907 Decided April 8, 1907 205 U.S. 275
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN
Syllabus
The state has undoubted power to prohibit foreign insurance companies from doing business within its limits, or, in allowing them to do so, to impose such condition as it pleases.
Where the state court decides that a foreign insurance company cannot recover assessments on a policy issued within the state because it has not complied with the statutory conditions imposed by the state, no federal question is involved, and a request to find that the state statute could not prevent the insured from going outside the state and obtaining insurance on property within the state does not raise a federal question, where the fact was otherwise, and the writ of error will be dismissed.
140 Mich. 344 affirmed.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
