ATA/444/1996 ΓÇó Late premiums must be claimed directly from adult insured daughter
ATA/444/1996Court of Justice / Administrative ChamberAug 27, 1996Granted
The court held that the insured daughter was already of age when she signed the insurance proposal. As a result, the insurer could not seek overdue premiums from the recourant and had to address its claim directly to the daughter. The appeal was therefore allowed in substance on the liability for premium arrears.
LAMA.30; contribution claim for overdue premiums against the person who is directly bound by the insurance relationship; where the insured child is already of age when signing the insurance proposal, the insurer must pursue that adult person directly for premium arrears and may not charge the parent on that basis. The decisive criterion is the legal capacity and majority of the signatory at the time the contractual declaration is made; liability follows the person who validly entered into the insurance commitment.
