Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York

1Opinion of the Court

Appeal by carrier. The policy of insurance expressly covered the place of injury. The claimant worked for a copartnership. The policy of insurance was written in the name of one of the copartners. “ The name of the insured in the policy is not always important if the intent to cover the risk is clear.” (Matter of Lipschitz v. Hotel Charles, 226 App. Div. 839, affd. 252 N. Y. 518.) Award affirmed, with costs to the Workmen’s Compensation Board. All concur.
