Outcome
The Fifth Circuit affirmed the district court's judgment for Canada Life Assurance, holding that the insurance policy language unambiguously required the plaintiff to be unable to engage in any gainful occupation (not just his regular occupation as a chiropractor) after the five-year mark, and that he failed to meet this standard.
