1Opinion of the Court

This is an appeal by the beneficiary of a life insurance policy from a judgment entered for the insurance company. The beneficiary, Judy Ann Stephens Richerzhagen, sued the insurer, National Home Life Assurance Company of New York, after the insurer refused to pay on a policy insuring the life of Robert Lambert. At the close of all testimony, the trial court granted the insurer's motion for directed verdict and entered judgment accordingly.

At trial, the insurer contended that the policy was unenforceable due to misrepresentations that were made by Lambert on the application for insurance.
