Gafford v. Allstate Ins. Co.

Summary

The Arkansas Supreme Court accepted a certified question from the federal district court concerning whether attorney's fees in an insured's insurance-contract action are available exclusively under Arkansas Code Annotated section 23-79-208 or may also be awarded under section 16-22-308. The court did not answer the merits question; it established briefing and record-submission requirements for the certified-question proceeding.
