Description

Appellee, upon his bill in equity, was awarded a decree reforming a fire insurance policy and allowing a recovery on it as reformed. The policy as issued was on a building "occupied as a dwelling house," and contained the usual provision that it should be void if the insured had misrepresented any material fact concerning the subject-matter of insurance. The building ws not and had never been occupied; at the time the policy was issued it was under construction and was burned without fault of the insured before it was completed. Appellants agent knew it was unfinished and unoccupied, but both he and appellee intended that it should be covered by insurance in its then condition, and appellee paid the premium with that understanding.
