Description
The Peerless Casualty Company issued an automobile liability insurance policy to the defendant for a period of one year from
January 13, 1954. The policy was written under an Assigned Risk Plan, put in effect by liability insurance carriers, doing
business in Vermont, to afford insurance protection to individuals who might otherwise be unable to obtain such insurance
protection. By this action in contract, the plaintiff seeks to recover payments made in settlement of claims arising from
an automobile accident in which the defendant insured was involved on April 24, 1954. The cause was tried by court, findings
of fact were filed and judgment for the defendant was entered on the findings. The plaintiff appeals. In 1954 the defendant was required to furnish a certificate of financial responsibility to the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles
as a prerequisite to the issuance of operator's license under the provisions of Chapter 431 of Vermont Statutes, Revision
of 1947, then in effect. He made application for the required insurance through Donald Davidson, an insurance agent and broker,
licensed in the State of Vermont. Davidson was not an authorized agency representative of the plaintiff.
