Christie v. Buckeye Ins.

The question raised was whether, under a marine policy of $11,000, the insured could recover the full amount of the policy for a total loss where there had been prior general average loss, upon which the company had paid $1,20S, or whether the company was entitled to have that amount deducted from the total amount due on the final loss. The company was held liable to the full face of their policy on final total loss, notwithstanding the payment of prior general average losses.
