FARM BUR. MUT. INC. CO. OF ARKANSAS v. Shaw
Court of Appeals of Arkansas
Decided June 11, 1980No. CA 80-31PublishedCited by 15 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
David Newbern, Judge.
The circuit court held that a 12% penalty and the appellee’s attorney’s fee were to be paid by the appellant pursuant to Ark. Stat. Ann. § 66-3238 (Repl. 1966). The main question with which we are presented is whether an insured may be entitled to the statutory penalty and attorney’s fee if the insurer has paid the claim to the insured for payment. The appellant has raised subsidiary questions which will also be addressed. We hold in favor of the appellee because the statute applies regardless whether the late payment is made to the insured or insured’s mortgagee.
