Supreme Court of Arkansas.

December 10, 1990.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

David J. Manley, Little Rock, for appellant.

Jacob Sharp, Jr., Little Rock, for appellee.


HAYS, Justice.

Arwood Hicks has appealed from an order of the trial court refusing to award an attorney's fee pursuant to Ark.Code Ann. § 23-79-209(a)(1987). Hicks contends he was entitled to an attorney's fee for defending a declaratory judgment action filed against him by Allstate Insurance Company, appellee. We sustain his contention and, accordingly, reverse and remand.
