New York Court of Appeals
Edward C. Messersmith, Respondent v. the American Fidelity Company, Appellant
November 22, 1921232 N.Y. 161
Summary
The Court of Appeals held that New York public policy does not prohibit enforcement of an automobile indemnity insurance contract even when the vehicle was being operated in violation of the Highway Law by a minor under the insured's direction, and that an implied condition requiring competent operators does not void the policy.
