Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court May 6, 1968 (Employers' Liability Assurance Corp. v. Traynor)

The plaintiff sought declaratory relief to determine whether it was liable for the loss by theft of certain property of the defendants whom it covered in a policy of insurance. The defendants moved to dismiss the bill on the ground that such debate as there might be relative to the value of the items stolen should be resolved by reference to referees in accordance with the provisions of G. L. c.
