disinterested appraiser

An appraiser who not only is without any pecuniary interest in the property appraised, but one who is not biased or prejudiced in reference to the parties or the property. L. D. Hickerson & Co. v German-American Ins. Co. 96 Tenn 193, 33 SW 1041. The mere fact of other employment by insurance companies does not, as a matter of law, disqualify one from selection as a "disinterested appraiser." Schreiber v Pacific Coast Fire Ins. Co. 195 Md 639, 75 A2d 108, 20 ALR2d 951.
