Description
This is an action by the beneficiary of life insurance against the insurer for the face amount of the policy. After the jury gave its verdict on special interrogatories, the court entered judgment for the defendant, no cause of action. Plaintiffs appeal presents a single issue having to do with an alleged misrepresentation the decedent-insured made on the "Medical History portion of Life Application" in applying for the policy. Plaintiff contends that this issue should not have been submitted to the jury (1) because under U.C.A., 1953, § 31-19-7(1), the Medical History form was not "part of the policy" and therefore was not "admissible in evidence in any action relative to such policy," and (2) because, in any case, the defendant insurer waived its right to rely on the medical form because its answer did not plead misrepresentation as an affirmative defense.
