Sheerer v. Manhattan Life Ins.

Matthews, Justice.

I concur fully in the reasoning and conclusion of this opinion. The language of the contract, it seems to me, is too plain for interpretation, and its legal effect is to limit the right of the assured or his representatives to a paid-up policy to the time during which the original policy is in force, including the moment at which it would expire by non-payment of premium. The nature of the contract is such that time must be deemed of its essence.
