Guest v. New Hampshire Fire Insurance
Michigan Supreme Court
Error to Bay. (Green, J.) Assumpsit. Defendant brings error. The facts are stated in the opinion.
1Opinion of the CourtCampbell, C. J.
In this cáse plaintiff recovered on a policy of insurance upon a dwelling. He held a contract of purchase, which he had assigned, as collateral to a building debt, to one Harrison. Harrison afterwards took out a policy for his own interest. After the house burned, Harrison collected that policy, and applied the proceeds on the mortgage. The company defended on the ground that plaintiff did not state truly his interest; that the Harrison policy constituted other insurance, and vitiated this policy; and on some other questions, chiefly relating to the same general grounds.
