New York Court of Appeals

The Travelers Insurance Company, Appellant v. Morris Pomerantz, Respondents

July 20, 1927246 N.Y. 63

Summary

The Court of Appeals held that the insured’s answer to statement 12 of the application was a material misrepresentation, that the insurer was not estopped by receipt of the second premium, and therefore reversed the lower courts and ordered a new trial.
