Description
Defendant John Bova (Bova) appeals from a judgment entered after a jury trial in De Kalb County. Judgment was entered for the plaintiff, Milwaukee Mutual Insurance Company, a corporation (Milwaukee Mutual), after a finding that it was not liable under an oral insurance binder given by Bova. Bova was employed by defendant, Clemons, Shepherd & Eckols, Inc. (CS&E.) On appeal Bova contends the verdict of the jury was contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence, that it should be set aside and judgment should be entered in his favor. In the alternative, he requests that the cause be remanded for a new trial because plaintiff brought out evidence concerning insurance in the presence of the jury. Milwaukee Mutual had an agency agreement with CS&E whereby CS&E could solicit and sell insurance contracts as agent for Milwaukee Mutual. CS&E was an independent agent for a number of such companies. Defendant, Wessels Plumbing Sales & Service Company (Wessels Plumbing), was the party who sought insurance from CS&E's agent, Bova.
