Elinor M. Ratay v. The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company
Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
WILLIAM F. SMITH, Circuit Judge.
This action was brought by the plaintiff to recover the proceeds of an interim insurance contract on the life of her husband and under which she was the beneficiary. The present appeal is from a judgment in favor of the defendant entered on the jury’s answers to certain special interrogatories. The plaintiff seeks reversal of the judgment and remand of the action for either the entry of judgment in her favor or a new trial. We are persuaded by our review of the record that the plaintiff is not entitled to the entry of judgment but she is entitled to a new trial.
