Wallace sues insurer over fire loss in Milford
A $85,000 damage action in Superior Court brought by George Wallace against National Ben Franklin Fire Insurance Co of Philadelphia has been withdrawn. Wallace claimed the insurer failed to pay for losses from a Milford dwelling fire on February 25, 1992 that destroyed the home. The defense argued the policy was based on Wallace’s misrepresentation that the dwelling lay within 500 feet of a public hydrant.

Court Asked to Open Foreclosure Action
Judge John Richards Heath of the Superior Court reserved decision on a motion by Dr. Kahler Shoe Co of Stamford to reopen a foreclosure judgment in favor of Fidelity Guaranty Co of Maryland. The move aims to protect equity in Stamford buildings to avoid receivership or bankruptcy, amid claims of an odd purchase by Benjamin Mead and a quitclaim deed from Fidelity during negotiations. The case involves about $50,000 in equity above a $48,000 first mortgage and relates to bonds issued when Kahler absorbed the Louisbury Salt company assets.
