AI generated

The Finnish Insurance Court dismissed the applicant's claim for interest on overdue life insurance premiums. The applicant argued that interest should accrue from the date of default under general contract principles, while the insurer contended that no statutory provision mandates such interest for life insurance policies. The court ruled that since no specific law requires interest payments in this context, the claim was legally unfounded.
