Docket entry
980074 Hilfiger v. Transamerica Occidental Life 09/18/1998 An insurance application initiated and signed by a son seeking a policy insuring the life of his father violated Code § 38.2-302 because the insured neither signed the application nor provided written consent thereto, and the policy is not enforceable. Knowledge by the insurer's agents of the incorrectness of the signature on the application does not estop the insurer from refusing to honor the policy. Certified questions of law are answered accordingly.

No official record has been found at this time. We are watching for updates.
Method: an entry is marked with an outcome only when its own text contains the outcome word, and the word is shown beside it. Orders, opinions and judgments whose text does not say are marked Other. Party filings, notices and routine procedural orders (appearances, extra pages, time extensions, scheduling) are not listed; 1 such entry was left out of this case.
