Vial v. Norwich Union Fire Insurance Society
Illinois Supreme Court
Writ or Error to the Branch “C” Appellate Court for the First District;—heard in that court on appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook county; the Hon. Charles M. Walker, Judg'e, presiding.
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Farmer
Plaintiff in error filed a bill in chancery in the circuit court of Cook county to reform a fire insurance policy on the ground of mutual mistake and to- enforce the payment of a loss under said policy as reformed. A decree was entered by the circuit court in accordance with the prayer of the bill, and the defendant prosecuted an appeal to the Appellate Court for the First District. That court reversed the decree of the circuit court and remanded the cause, with directions to dismiss the bill for want of equity, and the record has been brought to this court for review by writ of certiorari.
