Highway Trailer Company, a Corporation, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Donna Motor Lines, Inc., a Corporation of New…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the lower courts and held that Mount Vernon Eire Insurance is equitably estopped from denying payment to Highway Trailer Company, the loss payee, because the insurer's conduct led the loss payee to reasonably believe the claim had been properly presented, despite the insured's failure to file a proof of loss.
