No. 58862.

681 P.2d 67 (1983)

Floyd LEWIS, Jr., Appellant, v. FARMERS INSURANCE COMPANY, INC., Appellee.

Supreme Court of Oklahoma.

As Corrected October 26, 1983.

Rehearing Denied June 12, 1984.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Gary L. Brooks & Associates by Gary L. Brooks, Oklahoma City, for appellant.

Green, James, Williams & Elliott by Kenneth W. Elliott, Oklahoma City, for appellee.

HODGES, Justice.

The novel question presented is whether the twelve-month statute of limitations prescribed by 36 O.S. 1981 § 4803(G) and contained in the standard fire policy1 controls the time to bring an action for alleged bad faith refusal to pay a valid insurance claim; or if, because the action sounds in tort, 12 O.S. 1981 § 95(3), the two-year tort limitation period applies.
