United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit.

May 24, 1966.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Kleber C. Miller, Simon, Crowley, Wright, Ratliff & Miller, Fort Worth, Tex., for appellant.

Al Clyde, Clyde, Hines & Craig, Fort Worth, Tex., for appellee.

Before RIVES, BROWN and MOORE, Circuit Judges.


JOHN R. BROWN, Circuit Judge:

On stipulated facts, the trial Court held the Insurer under a group policy liable to the Employee for total disability benefits. As to that holding we reverse, but remand the case as it is not certain that a possible alternative basis for liability has been factually explored.

The Insurer1 had issued to the Employer2 a series of integrated group policies.
