Material Misrepresentations Voiding Policy Bars Bad Faith Claim
Summary: The insureds filed suit against their insurer for breach of contract and bad faith after their insurer denied their claim for a stolen boat and trailer. On appeal, the court held the policy was void due to a material misrepresentation on the application. Because there was no policy in force, there was no claim for bad faith.
