1Opinion of the CourtMerrick, J.
This is an action to recover for the defendant-insurer’s alleged breach of contract and violations of G.L.c. 93A and 176D in denying the plaintiff-insured’s claim for damage to his vehicle which purportedly occurred when the vehicle was stolen.
The trial court made a finding for the plaintiff, assessed breach of contract damages in the amount of $2,698.67 and ordered that such damages be trebled and attorney’s fees be determined pursuant to G.L.c. 93A, §9(A).1 The defendant-insurer now claims to be aggrieved by the court’s action on the defendant’s requests for rulings of law.
