MOON, Justice.

Plaintiff-Appellant Edward Coll (Coll) appeals from an order granting summary judgment in favor of Defendant and Counterclaim Plaintiff-Appellee Hawaiian Insurance & Guaranty Company, Ltd. (HIG). HIG cross-appeals from an order denying attorney's fees. We affirm the summary judgment in favor of HIG and reverse the order denying attorney's fees based on our finding that the complaint brought by Coll against HIG was frivolous.
