from
Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
REPRESENTATION, insurances. A representation is a collateral statement,
either by writing not inserted in the policy, or by parol, of such facts or
circumstances relative to the proposed adventure, as are necessary to be
communicated to the underwriters, to enable them to form a just estimate of
the risk.
2. A representation, like a warranty, may be either affirmative, as
where the insured avers the existence of some fact or circumstance which may
affect the risk; or promissory, as where he engages the performance of,
something executory.
3. There is a material difference between a representation and a
warranty.
4. A warranty, being a condition upon which the contract is to take
effect, is always a part of the written policy, and must appear on the face
of it. Marsh. Ins. c. 9, Sec. 2. Whereas a representation is only a matter
of collateral information or intelligence on the subject of the voyage
insured, and makes no part of the policy. A warranty being in the nature of
a condition precedent, must be strictly and literally complied with; but it
is sufficient if the representation be true in substance, whether a warranty
be material to the risk or not, the insured stakes his claim of indemnity
upon the precise truth of it, if it be affirmative, or upon the exact
performance of it, if executory; but it is sufficient if a representation be
made without fraud, and be not false in any material point, or if it be
substantially, though not literally, fulfilled. A false warranty avoids the
policy, as being a breach of the condition upon which the contract is to
take effect; and the insurer is not liable for any loss though it do not
happen in consequence of the breach of the warranty; a false representation
is no breach of the contract, but if material, avoids the policy on the
ground of fraud, or at least because the insurer has been misled by it.
