  "summary": "A KwaZulu-Natal mother with one kidney is taking Momentum Metropolitan Life to the High Court in Durban after rejecting her R10 million illness claim. The nurse, who was born without a left kidney, claims that Momentum's refusal to pay her insurance claims was due to material errors of law and fact, as well as non-compliance with relevant sections of the Long-term Insurance Act. The dispute centers around claims related to the absence of her left kidney, respiratory problems following a workplace incident, and alleged non-disclosure of medical information during the application process.",
