Washington Supreme Court
Decided February 10, 1966No. 37909PublishedCited by 24 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtHill, J.
— Superficially, 1 this would seem to be a subrogation case with the issue whether the insurance company, as subrogee, had waived its right to recover. The trial court held that there had been such a waiver and dismissed the action.
Stoddard Wendle Ford Motors, a corporation (hereinafter called Stoddard-Wendle), sold a truck to W. H. Findley (hereinafter called Findley) for use in his logging operations in Idaho. To meet the purchaser’s requirements of a 212-inch wheel base, the truck, which had a wheel base of 191 inches, was lengthened by cutting the body and welding in an additional section.
