Transitional law for 1995 insurance termination

ATA/91/1997Court of Justice / Administrative ChamberFeb 4, 1997

Extracted by Omnilex

Omnilex summary

The dispute concerned the legal regime applicable to an insurance termination sent in 1995. The court held that the notice had to be examined under the former LAMA regime, not under LAMal. The decision thus turned on transitional law and the temporal applicability of the two insurance statutes.

Omnilex headnote

Transitional law between LAMA and LAMal; an insurance termination communicated in 1995 is to be assessed under the former LAMA regime and not under LAMal. The decisive criterion is the temporal point at which the termination was transmitted; the later statutory regime does not retroactively govern the legal effects of a notice already given under the previous law.

Key legal question

Whether a termination notified in 1995 must be assessed under LAMA or under LAMal.

Extracted holding

The termination must be judged under LAMA, not under LAMal.

Extracted reasoning

Because the notice was transmitted in 1995, the applicable regime is determined by the transitional law then in force; the later LAMal regime does not govern the assessment.
