## Opinion text

CAYTON, Associate Judge
(concurring).
My vote is for reversal, but I think such reversal should be on the sole ground that because deceased had used different names in the two policies, appellant could not know of the identity of parties, and had no opportunity to approve or disapprove the issuance of the second policy.
