Insurance - Fire Insurance - Jewelry Thrown Into Furnace
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff had a fire insurance policy covering household goods, including jewelry. Plaintiff's servant, not realizing that an envelope contained two rings, threw the envelope into a waste basket, the contents of which were later thrown into the furnace. In a suit upon the policy a judgment was directed against the defendant. On appeal, it was held, two justices dissenting, that the loss was not covered by the policy because the fire was "friendly" rather than "hostile." Harter v. Phoenix Ins. Co., 257 Mich. 163, 241 N. W. 196 (1932).

The policy contained no specially exempted risks, but did provide for additional indemnity if the insured died of injuries sustained solely through "external, violent, and accidental means." The face value of the policy was not contested, but the insurer contested the right to the additional sum. Held, the death was not caused by accidental …

Insurance - "Liability" Of "Indemnity" Contract - "No Action" Clause
Michigan Law Review

The policy contained a "no action" clause which denied a right of action unless a final judgment had been rendered and the assured had actually sustained a loss by payment of such judgment. Such a suit, brought against the plaintiff, had been unsuccessfully defended by the insurer. It was held that plaintiff could recover on the policy upon the rendition of the judgment and without …
