Insurance Law Rulings Highlight 1960s Court Actions
The Supreme Court issued multiple rulings on insurance and civil cases including a new trial order in a Hot Springs case over a collision between Billy Huffman and Bobby Digby with damages totaling $9,142, a Garland County denial of Huffman counterclaims, and Digby’s injury testimony. It also upheld a Union County injunction against reoffending, in a case where George C. James faced fines and jail time for assault following a chancellor’s order, and ordered Jackson County a new trial over land taking by the Arkansas Highway Commission, reversing errors tied to testimony on sale price and condemnation impact.
