Question juridique clé
Whether the insured committed a material nondisclosure when completing the health questionnaire
Solution extraite
Yes. The insured, together with his father whose knowledge was attributable to him, failed to disclose serious psychiatric problems, prior medical treatment, and a suicide attempt.
Motifs extraits
The questions were broad but the undisclosed history concerned serious and relevant health problems. The father’s knowledge or at least knowledge that he ought to have had was imputable under agency principles.
