**Docket Number**: 7852547
**Court**: [Insert Court Name Here]
**Date**: [Insert Date Here]
**Parties**:
- **Plaintiff**: Equitable Life Assurance Society
- **Defendant**: Schwartz
**Facts**:
The case involves a dispute over a life insurance policy issued by the Equitable Life Assurance Society. The plaintiff, Equitable Life, is seeking to deny a claim made by the defendant, Schwartz, who is the beneficiary of the policy. The central issue revolves around claims of misrepresentation and fraud asserted by the insurer, which purportedly led to the issuance of the policy under false pretenses.
The plaintiff alleges that certain material facts were not disclosed by the insured at the time of application for the life insurance, including pre-existing health conditions or other pertinent information that would have affected the insurer's decision to issue the policy. The defendant contends that all necessary information was provided and that the claim for benefits should be honored.
**Issues**:
1. Whether the plaintiff, Equitable Life, can prove that the defendant engaged in misrepresentation or concealed material facts that invalidated the insurance policy.
2. If the policy is indeed valid, whether the defendant is entitled to the proceeds of the insurance claim.
