Description
This is an appeal by plaintiff-appellant, Dr. Sol F. Cantor, from a judgment of the circuit court of St. Louis County entered on November 25, 1975, sustaining a motion for judgment on the pleadings filed by the defendant-respondent, Union Mutual Life Insurance Company (Union) which in effect disposed of plaintiff's claim for disability insurance, damages for vexatious delay and attorneys' fees. For reasons hereinafter stated, we reverse the order sustaining the motion for judgment on the pleadings and remand the cause for further proceedings. This proceeding began on October 11, 1974, when the plaintiff, Dr. Sol F. Cantor, filed his petition against Union alleging, inter alia, that (1) on November 8, 1969, Union, for a premium, issued its disability insurance policy insuring him against disability caused by sickness, (2) on or about December 17, 1973, he became totally disabled as a result of a septic left ankle joint due to beta-hemolytic strep and that the total disability continued until about April 12, 1974, (3) conditions precedent had been complied with, and (4) the sum of $6,000.00 was due under the policy. Plaintiff prayed for judgment for the sum due, for damages for vexatious delay and for attorneys' fees.
