General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Prudential Insurance Company v. Moore No. 47 Argued November 6, 1913 Decided December 22, 1913 231 U.S. 560
CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
Aetna Insurance Co. v. Moore, ante, p. 543, followed to effect that it was error not to charge the jury that a statement made by an applicant for life insurance that he had never been rejected by any company, association, or agent after he had withdrawn an application on the advice of the medical adviser with knowledge that the company for whom the examination was made would reject him, is material and untruthful.
Where the policy itself expressly provides that it cannot be varied by anyone except an officer of the company issuing it, the company is not estopped to contest the policy on the ground of misrepresentation or concealment in the application because its agent has knowledge of actual conditions.
The facts, which involve the validity of a verdict and judgment on a policy of life insurance, are stated in the opinion.
