Guaranty Life Insurance Company v. Robinson

Court of Appeals of Georgia
Jan 6, 1972
187 S.E.2d 535 (Ga. Ct. App. 1972)

Opinion

46683.

SUBMITTED NOVEMBER 3, 1971.

DECIDED JANUARY 6, 1972.

Action on insurance policy. Wayne State Court. Before Judge Gibbs.

E. H. Gadsden, for appellant.

Zorn Royal, William A. Zorn, for appellee.


In a suit to collect benefits under a life insurance policy, the defendant appeals from the judgment.

This was the second trial of this case. The court granted defendant's motion for new trial because the first verdict did not indicate a finding of bad faith to support the award of attorney's fees. The second verdict was in proper form. Therefore, defendant's enumeration of error on the denial of its original motion for summary judgment is doubly moot. Hill v. Willis, 224 Ga. 263 (2) ( 161 S.E.2d 281).

Defendant also contends the court erred in refusing to give two requested charges. The principle of the first was given in substance although with different language. McBerry v. Ivie, 116 Ga. App. 808 ( 159 S.E.2d 108). The second requested charge was not a correct statement of the law and was also argumentative. The court did not err in refusing them.

Judgment affirmed. Eberhardt and Clark, JJ., concur.

SUBMITTED NOVEMBER 3, 1971 — DECIDED JANUARY 6, 1972.
