Harper & Co. v. Ginners Mutual Insurance
Court of Appeals of Georgia
Action on insurance policy, from city court of Washington— Judge Hardeman. October 21, 1908.
1Opinion of the CourtHill, C. J.
Harper & Company sued the Ginners Mutual Insurance Company on a policy of insurance covering their cotton gin. The insurance company made three defenses: (1) that there was no complete contract of insurance; (2) that if there was a complete contract of insurance, it had lapsed by failure to pay the premium; and (3) that if the contract of insurance was completed, it was avoided and forfeited by the operation of the gin at night, in violation of its terms and conditions. At the-conclusion of the evidence, the court directed a verdict for the defendant; and this is the error assigned.
