48 Ind. App. 186 | Ind. Ct. App. | 1910
This action was brought by appellee against appellant to recover upon two policies of insurance issued by it upon the life of her husband, naming appellee as the beneficiary therein. No question is presented as to the sufficiency of the complaint. Appellant answered that the policies sued on were issued in consideration, among other things, of the warranties and statements contained in the insured’s application for the policies; that said warranties were broken; that the statements in the application were false and fraudulent; that appellant relied upon the truth of the statements made by the insured in answer to the interrogatories addressed to the insured in the medical examination, which was contained in said application, and that appellant was induced thereby to enter into the contract.
It is not averred in the answer that appellant, upon the
Appellant’s defense proceeds upon the theory that no such tender was necessary; that no question of rescission of the contract Avas involved; that this defense is predicated upon the terms of the contract as made by the parties, and not upon its rescission; that upon the facts averred in the answer and shown by the evidence and special finding, nothing Avas due to the appellee under the contract, and therefore no steps were required to be taken for its rescission.
Judgment of the court below affirmed.
