Court found Richstone contracted as agent for Axelson but the proposal and policy treated Richstone as the employer/insured; plaintiffs failed to prove Eastern knew Richstone was not employer or to establish a common intention or prior agreement to justify rectification; additionally Richstone made negligent/reckless misrepresentations (identity and wages estimate) incorporated as basis of contract enabling Eastern to avoid the policy; plaintiffs' tort claim failed; therefore judgment for defendant.
