1Opinion of the CourtKauger, J.
11 The issues presented are whether the trial court erred by: 1) sanctioning the passenger's counsel for disclosing the amount of a settlement offer made by the insurer during court-ordered mediation; 2) granting partial summary judgment to the insurer on the issue of bad faith; and 3) denying the insurer's motion for a new trial on the grounds of the exclusion of testimony by the investigating officer. We find the trial court erred by sanctioning the passenger's counsel. We otherwise affirm the decisions of the trial court.
