Rutstein v. United States Fire Insurance
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided December 15, 1928
225 A.D. 763
Rutstein v. United States Fire Insurance

Opinion of the Court

Judgment affirmed, with costs. No opinion. Lazansky, P. J., Hagarty, Seeger and Carswell, JJ., concur; Young, J., dissents, being of opinion that the misrepresentation was immaterial. The factory number and the motor number were correctly given in the policy. The car was also correctly stated to be a master six Buick. The only mistake was that the car was described as a model 25-50 seven-passenger sedan when in fact it was a model 25-51 five-passenger sedan. The factory number and the motor number given in the policy were sufficient for identification.
