Locey v. American Cent. Ins. Co.

Supreme Court of California
Sep 16, 1886
2 Cal. Unrep. 708 (Cal. 1886)

Opinion

          Department 1.

         These were actions brought by the appellant to recover on certain fire insurance policies issued by the respondents. The respondents set up as a defense that the plaintiff had, in violation of the terms of his policies, insured his premises in more than one company, without consent.

         COUNSEL

         [2 Cal.Unrep. 712] Grove L. Johnson and Freeman, Johnson & Bates, for plaintiff and appellant.

          T. C. Van Ness and Gray & Haven, for defendants and respondents.


          OPINION

          THE COURT.

          These three cases are embraced within one appeal. The court below was justified in granting the nonsuits. The evidence failed to show a waiver by the defendants of notice of other insurance, and failed to show any act by which the defendants would be estopped from asserting want of such notice.

          The orders denying motions for new trial are affirmed.
