New York Court of Appeals

Louis S. McCulloch, Respondent v. Carlisle Norwood

November 10, 187458 N.Y. 562

Summary

The Court held that a judgment rendered against a dissolved corporation could not be enforced against its receiver, and that the plaintiff's answers to the insurance questionnaire did not constitute a breach of warranty, so the policy remained valid. Accordingly, the judgment was modified to be against the receiver for the policy amount with interest.
