New York Court of Appeals
Henry E. Weed, Respondent v. the Hamburg—Bremen Fire Insurance Company, Appellant
May 24, 1892133 N.Y. 394
Summary
The Court affirmed the judgment, holding that the fire‑insurance policy was valid because the term “Estate of O. Richards” was understood to cover all interests in the property, that the plaintiff’s failure to mention the foreclosure judgment did not constitute a material misrepresentation, that the insurer waived the preliminary notice requirement, and that evidence concerning the source of the mortgage funds was immaterial.
