Key legal question
Whether the insurer's 3 April 2007 letter constituted a valid withdrawal/termination based on non-disclosure.
Extracted holding
The letter was to be understood as a withdrawal with retroactive effect from contract conclusion.
Extracted reasoning
Although the insurer used the term 'cancel', it also stated that no benefits were due and that already paid benefits had to be reimbursed. Read as a whole, the letter clearly showed an intent to treat the contracts as void from the outset.
