SUPREME COURT-APPELLATE DIVISION-FOURTH DEPARTMENT-MARCH, 1902. § 533. Fire Policy Conditions Precedent-Proofs of Loss-Insufficiency of Complaint. In an action on a fire policy, an allegation in the complaint that plaintiff filed a complete inventory of the property destroyed and injured, with the quantity and cost of each article and amount claimed thereon, which inventory ever since had been and still was in the possession of the company, was not sufficient, as a specific allegation that the requisite proofs of loss were filed, where a copy of the policy was annexed and specified in detail what the proofs of loss should contain, and the inventory alleged failed materially to comply with such requirements. The defect was not cured by the general allegation under Code of Civil Procedure, section 533, which provides that in pleading the performance of a condition precedent it is not necessary to state the facts constituting performance, but the party may state generally that be has " duly performed all the conditions;" the word "duly" being omitted. An allegation that sixty days had elapsed after proofs of loss were received by defendants before the action was commenced was necessary, where the policy specifically provided that the loss should not be payable until after sixty days, and that no suit should be sustainable' until full compliance with all the requirements of the policy. (Decided March, 1902.) Appeal from Special Term, Erie county. Clemens v. American Fire Insurance Company of Philadelphia. Action by John Clemens against the American Fire Insurance Company of Philadelphia, Pa. Judgment sustaining a demurrer to the complaint, and plaintiff appeals. Affirmed. Phillip V. Fennelly, for appellant. Seward A. Simons, for respondent. WILLIAMS, J.-The judgment appealed from should be affirmed, with costs. The action was brought upon a policy of insurance to recover for the loss of household furniture destroyed by fire. The demurrer was upon the ground that the complaint did not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. The particular points made were (1) that there was no sufficient allegation of the rendering of proofs of loss to the defendant pursuant to the terms of the policy; (2) that there was no allegation that sixty days had elapsed after the proofs of loss were received by the defendant before the action was commenced. These were conditions precedent to a right to recover in the action. There was no specific allegation as to rendering proofs of loss, except that the plaintiff filed a complete inventory of the property destroyed and injured, with the quantity and cost of each article, and the amount claimed thereon, which inventory ever since had been, and still was, in the possession of the defendant. The policy, a copy of which was annexed to the complaint, specified in detail what the proofs of loss should contain, and the inventory alleged failed very materially to comply with the provision of the policy. It failed to furnish anything like the amount of information required by the specifications as to the proofs of loss. If it had been alleged that this inventory was rendered as the proofs of loss, and that it had been re |
