Sult on v Policy of Life Insurance Defense of Fraudulent Misrepresentations
Superior Court reviews a judgment for $3,179 on a life insurance policy after a motion for a new trial. The syllabus outlines that insurers may seek full rebuttal of defenses, that representations and warranties differ, and that agent knowledge can estop the company from denying claims. The decision discusses treatment of misrepresentations, warranties, and truth in applications, with multiple points on materiality and estoppel. The ruling clarifies when parol evidence may prove misrepresentation and how agent conduct affects liability.
