1Opinion of the CourtJustice Hallett
The Nature of the Action
This was a declaratory judgment action brought by the plaintiff insurance company against the defendant seeking to have a predated insurance policy issued to defendant Moss declared void ab initio. A third party action filed by said defendant against Louis Kamberos was severed at the time of trial and is not involved on this appeal. After a bench trial, the court held the policy to be valid and entered judgment in favor of the defendants and against the Plaintiff, and this appeal followed. No questions are raised on the pleadings.
