MAINE BONDING & CAS. CO. v. KNOWLTON11/1/1991
& Loan Assoc. of Bangor v. Tear, 435 A.2d at 1086 ("Notice of cancellation must meet strict requirements"). Thus, a notice that does not specify an effective date at least 20 days hence cannot terminate a policy under 24-A M.R.S.A. ยง 3050. This construction is not only compatible with the plain meaning of the statute, but also gives effect to its consumer protection bent. Some courts interpreting substantially identical statutes in their jurisdictions have reached the same result. See Ophus v. Tri-State Ins. Co. of Minnesota, Inc., 392 N.W.2d 653, 655-56 (Minn.App. 1986); Pearson v. Nationwide Mutual Ins. Co., 90 N.C. App. 295, 368 S.E.2d 406 (1988). Those courts that have ruled to the contrary were construing different statutory language. See Farber v. Great American
The entry is:
Summary judgment vacated. Remanded for further proceedings consistent with the opinion herein.
All concurring.
