Baird v. Ætna Life Ins.

Baird v. Ætna Life Ins.
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided April 12, 1886
2 Sadler 263; 4 A. 199; 1886 Pa. LEXIS 713

Baird v. Ætna Life Ins.

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam :

It is evident that the original brief memorandum was not intended as a complete contract. Its meager details not only indicate its lack of completeness, but its reference to general agent’s contract shows that it was intended to be prepared to conform therewith.

Such being the case, the contention was one of fact and of very easy solution. There is some evidence that the claim now made was an afterthought, without much foundation or reason.

Judgment affirmed.
