Greenlee v. Hanover Insurance
Greenlee v. Hanover Insurance
Opinion of the Court
I. The court, at the close of the evidence, on motion of plaintiffs, directed a verdidct for
II. The policy contained this provision: “This policy shall be void if the insured has concealed or misrepresented, in writing or otherwise, any material fact or circumstance concerning this insurance, or the subject thereof, or if the interest of the insured in the property be not truly stated herein.” At the time the policy issued there were certain mechanics’ liens that had been put in judgment, as to which, it is claimed, there was a concealment by plaintiffs, that avoids the policy. To avoid the policy because of such concealment, the fact must be shown in some manner. The policy is in the record, but not the application, and we do not find a word of evidence on the subject of concealment, nor anything to sustain such an inference. So far as the record shows, the policy issued with full knowledge of all the facts. The judgment will stand affirmed.
