Supreme Court of Pennsylvania January 20, 1998, 64 E.D. Appeal Docket 1996 (Parsonese v. Midland National Insurance)

*425

OPINION OF THE COURT

FLAHERTY, Chief Judge.

This appeal challenges the constitutionality of the retroactive application of a statute affecting life insurance contracts. The trial court held that, if applied retroactively, the statute would violate the contracts clause of the state and federal constitutions by impairing the life insurance contract at issue in this case.
