View this case - free  

Overview: Where an insurer settled a plant owner's claim due to a fire, directed verdict on the insured's negligence and breach of contract claims against the insurer was proper because there was no causal connection between the insurer's negligence in handling the claim, if any, and the increase in the insured's premiums; insured's award of fees was upheld.

Barber v. State, CACR06-1020, COURT OF APPEALS OF ARKANSAS, DIVISION THREE, May 30, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: In a manslaughter case, the court properly rejected defendant's proposed justification jury instruction because, although defendant might have been justified in using deadly force against the victim under the circumstances, the term "accomplice" was too broad under Ark. Code Ann. § 5-2-403, and the proffered instruction was therefore incorrect.

View this case - free

Beverlin v. Ark. HHS, CA06-1026, CA07-39, COURT OF APPEALS OF ARKANSAS, DIVISION ONE, May 30, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Even though a child was residing elsewhere, the evidence was still sufficient to support a finding that the child was dependent/neglected under Ark. Code Ann. § 9-27-303(18)(A), (36)(A) because this child did not have to incur the same injuries as the ones living in the residence; the parents did not challenge the findings as to those children.

Denton v. Williams, CA06-1091, COURT OF APPEALS OF ARKANSAS, DIVISION TWO, May 30, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Because a landlord failed to establish any negligence attributable to a tenant - either directly or via res ipsa loquitur - a court properly granted summary judgment to the tenant; for eight hours preceding the fire, the car was out of the tenant's exclusive control, and the evidence merely showed that a fire of unknown cause occurred.
