Supreme Court of Arkansas

Robert Duran v. Southwest Arkansas Electric Cooperative Corporation Charles Glover, Jr., D/b/a Glov — Baker, J…

February 8, 2018537 S.W.3d 722

Summary

Justice Baker dissented from the affirmance of summary judgment for Southwest Arkansas Electric Cooperative, concluding that the evidence had to be viewed in the light most favorable to Duran. In her view, disputed facts existed regarding whether Duran and Glover were qualified or authorized to access energized transformers, whether transformer work was part of their assigned work, and whether they were required to encounter an energized transformer. The dissent would have reversed and remanded; Justices Hart and Womack joined the dissent.
