Description
This is a proceeding by which plaintiff-respondent Ruth Mitchell sought to apply the indemnity provisions of an automobile
liability insurance policy to the payment of a $25,000 judgment obtained by her against Derrel Kontz for the death of her
husband in an automobile accident. The action was brought against Farmers Insurance Exchange (hereinafter referred to as "Farmers"),
its attorney in fact, Farmers Underwriters Association, and Kontz, the alleged insured of Farmers. Farmers defended on the
grounds that the policy of insurance upon which its asserted liability was based was not in effect on the date of the accident.
It also contended that the judgment against Kontz was obtained by the fraud and collusion of plaintiff Mitchell and defendant
Kontz. The trial court found against Farmers on both issues and rendered judgment for plaintiff against Farmers Insurance
Exchange for $28,908.33. This appeal followed. Farmers issued to Derrel Kontz its automobile liability insurance policy for a period effective November 3, 1960 to May 3,
1961. Bodily injury liability coverage was in the amount of $25,000 for each person and $50,000 for each occurrence. Comprehensive
and collision coverage were also provided for Kontz's 1956 Pontiac automobile.
