Description
This is an appeal from a directed verdict granted by the Circuit Court of Copiah County for the appellees-defendants in a suit brought upon an oral contract of insurance. The circuit court granted the directed verdict on the ground that the appellants, Kenneth McPherson and his mother, Mabel McPherson, plaintiffs below, had not sufficiently proved apparent authority on the part of appellee Miss Christine McLendon to orally bind appellee National-Ben Franklin Insurance Company to insurance coverage for the appellants automobile. The trial court also indicated that the pleadings and proof did not show with enough certainty that a contract had been entered into. We cannot agree with either of these conclusions reached by the learned judge and hold that viewing all the evidence favorable to the appellants as true, together with all the reasonable inferences that can be drawn therefrom, a jury question is presented as to both of these issues.
