Jett v. Life Casualty Ins. Co.

The verdict in this case was directed by the trial judge upon the sole ground that the insured was not in sound ¡health at the time of the application for the policy and when the policy was issued and delivered. This was the issue raised in the motion for a directed verdict, and sustained by the court. This issue is determinative of the lawsuit if the trial judge correctly sustained the motion, but, if he erred, there must be a new trial, regardless of other issues raised by the plaintiff in error, and it follows that this is the sole question presented to this court for determination.
