Northfield Farmers' Township Mutual Fire Insurance v. Sweet
Appellate Court of Illinois
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. E. P. Vail, Judge, presiding.
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Shepard
The bill in this case was brought to reform and enforce an insurance policy issued to one Owen A. Sweet, when in fact it was intended to have been written in favor of Benjamin F. Sweet, his brother, the appellee. The reformation asked for, is the substitution of the name of appellee for that of Owen A. Sweet, in the policy.
The decree of the Circuit Court found “ that it was the intention of B. F. Sweet and O. A. Sweet to have the policy issued to B. F. Sweet and deposited with Klehm as security; that it was an accident or mistake that the policy was issued in the name of O. A. Sweet.”
