State v. Harty

Decision Date13 June 1918
PartiesSTATE ex rel. WATERWORTH at al. v. HARTY, Superintendent of Insurance.
CourtMissouri Supreme Court

BOND, C. J.

This is an application by petitioners, as the ratemaking representatives of "all the stock fire insurance companies doing business" in this state, for a "judicial review," upon evidence to be heard by a commissioner, of the ruling of the superintendent of insurance in refusing petitioners an increase of rates according to a schedule filed with him March 27, 1913.

The matters of original cognizance thus presented do not lie within the constitutional jurisdiction of this court, which is "appellate only," except as otherwise specified or directed in that instrument. Const. 1875, art. 8, §§ 2 and 3, and article 8, § 9; Gantt v. Brown, 244 Mo. 300, 149 S. W. 644, Ann. Cas. 1913D, 1283; R. S. 1909, § 5921.

The application is therefore dismissed without prejudice to "a proper action" in a court of competent original jurisdiction. Laws of 1915, p. 318, § 15. All concur.
