Am. Home Assur. Co. v. Hardy

These are two cases consolidated on appeal. The first appeal is by American Home Assurance Company from a partial summary judgment, with the required Rule 54 (b), ARCP, order, entered in favor of Harry D. Hardy, in an action filed by Hardy to enforce payment to him, under a legal malpractice insurance policy, of monies he had paid in settlement of claims against him. The second appeal is by American Home from a denial of its petition to set aside a default judgment taken by Hardy against it in a declaratory judgment action. We affirm both judgments.
