New York Court of Appeals
Charles S. Bryce, Appellant, Agt. the Lorillard Fire Insurance Company, Respondent
December 9, 187355 N.Y. 240
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal of the plaintiff’s action to reform the insurance policy and recover under it, holding that the policy’s location statement is a warranty and condition precedent, that there was no mutual or unilateral mistake with fraud to justify reform, and that the lower court’s factual findings were supported by evidence and therefore not reversible.
