Everyday Law Cases
Does Silence AItc0vs Indicate
Consent In Ldtcf
BIZ THE COUNSELLOR.

I'VE shall renew the five-thousand-
dollar insurance on your house for
another year unless we hear from
you to the contrary. Your old policy
will expire on February 1.
HOME FIRE INSURANCE CO."
Ralph Smith was satisfied to per-
NIT the Home Fire Insurance Co.
to renew the insurance. and he made
no reply to the company's letter.
Smiths residence was badly damaged
by fire and he duly filed a claim for
the adjustment OF his loss.
To his surprise, however, he was
informed that his house was not COW
cred by insurance. He fastened to
show the company the letter Eent to
him understanding the words unless
we hear from you to the contrary"
He added, 81 wanted the insurance,
and so l did not let you know other
wise. My silence clearly indicated
my consent"
When the company still refused to
adjust the damages, Smith took the
matter to court. He lost his case
and learned the following general
principle of law:
SILENCE does not always imply aa-
sent. 1t applies only when there Is
an obligation to speak, and silence
misleads. All the plaintiff did was
to determine in his own mind that
he would accept the offer there was
nothing to indicate II by way of
speech or other appropriate act.
There must be an actual acceptance
or there is no contract"
