Supreme Court of Arkansas
Charlotte Hall Hardin, Troy Gentry Guthrey, and Entergy Arkansas, Inc., Appellants v. India Bishop, Appellee
October 10, 20132013 Ark. LEXIS 466
Summary
The court reversed summary judgment for Bishop because conflicting evidence created a genuine factual issue about whether Wardlaw acted as Bishop's agent when he started the fire. The court held that the circuit court was not required to state specific findings supporting its summary-judgment ruling because the agency issue was presented in the motions and arguments. It declined to decide the double-damages issue because that issue was not ripe while agency remained unresolved.
