Description

This is a diversity action brought by Johnson International Company ("Johnson International"), a Washington corporation, against Jackson National Life Insurance Company ("Jackson National"), a Michigan corporation, regarding a $250,000 "keyman" life insurance policy issued by Jackson National to Johnson International to cover one of the latters key employees, Howard Warford. Warford died while on a business trip to Taiwan. Jackson National refused to pay Johnson Internationals claim on the keyman policy because the claim arose during the two-year contestability period for the policy, and, according to Jackson National, after Warfords death it discovered material misrepresentations in the policy application concerning Warfords health. Johnson International sued for breach of contract and negligence.
