Syllabus
<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>1. Where the owner of the property and the mortagee each insures separately, there may be over-insurance but there cannot be “double-insurance”, since the interests insured are entirely distinct the one from the other.</p> <p>2. The mere right to proceed with an execution pending a devolutive appeal will not alone give an insurable interest unless the party show that his claim will ultimately prevail, or that he will be liable for the amount realized under the seizure.</p>
