The Insurance Court dismissed the policyholder's claim for an additional premium following a premium increase. The insurer argued that the statutory notice period had expired, while the policyholder contended that the notice was insufficiently clear. The court ruled that the insurer failed to meet the strict statutory requirements for valid notice, thereby losing the right to demand the increased amount.
