District Court of Appeal of Florida·Decided September 11, 1970·No. No. 69-572·Published·Cited by 2 cases

Opinion

MANN, Judge.

An insurance broker is not, as a matter of law, the insured’s agent for receipt of premium refund upon cancellation. Hermann v. Niagara Fire Ins. Co., 1885, 100 N.Y. 411, 3 N.E. 341. Whether the broker is agent as a matter of fact is not determined by the record on which summary judgment was entered. Agency, pleaded here, is yet to be determined. Miller v. Chase & Co., 1924, 88 Fla. 500, 102 So. 553. See 44 C.J.S. Insurance § 168; 44 Am.Jur.2d Insurance § 151 et seq.

Reversed and remanded.

HOBSON, C. J., and LILES, J., concur.
