The Insurance Court dismissed the policyholder's claim for an additional premium following a late notification of a rate increase. The insurer argued that the statutory notice period had expired, while the policyholder contended that the delay rendered the increase invalid. The court ruled that the insurer's failure to provide timely notice meant the policyholder was not bound by the new rates.
