STATUTORY INDEXING:
One-Year Notice Rule Limitation [§3145(1)]
Applicability of Limitations Period to Claims by Insurers Against Other Insurers [§3145]
TOPICAL INDEXING:
No-Fault Insurer Claims for Reimbursement
CASE SUMMARY:
In this unanimous Opinion by Judge Kelly, the Court of Appeals held that the one-year statute of limitations contained in §3145 of the No-Fault Act applied in a subrogation action where one no-fault insurance company sued another to obtain reimbursement for no-fault benefits mistakenly paid. The court relied on the legal principle that a subrogee acquires no greater rights than his subrogor.
