New York Court of Appeals

Mary B. De Frece, as Administratrix v. National Life Insurance Company, Appellant

November 29, 1892136 N.Y. 144

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment for the plaintiff, holding that the evidence showed a valid modification of the insurance contract to allow quarterly payments and that the insurer’s acceptance of payments made after they were due constituted a waiver of forfeiture, so the policy remained in force.
