Fife v. Central Insurance Companies
Fife v. Central Insurance Companies
Opinion of the Court
A discretionary appeal is allowed, the judgment of the court of appeals is reversed, and the cause is remanded to the trial court to apply Martin v. Midwestern Group Ins. Co. (1994), 70 Ohio St.3d 478, 639 N.E.2d 438.
Concurring Opinion
concurring separately. I concur separately in the judgment entry in this case. As my dissent in Martin v. Midwestern Group Ins. Co. (1994), 70 Ohio St.3d 478, 639 N.E.2d 438, stated, I do not agree with the law announced in the majority decision. Nevertheless, it is the law on the issue in the above-styled case. As I believe all parties should receive equal application of the law announced by this court, and only for that reason, I concur in the judgment entry.
Dissenting Opinion
dissenting. For the reasons stated in the dissenting opinions in Martin v. Midwestern Group Ins. Co. (1994), 70 Ohio St.3d 478, 639 N.E.2d 438,1 emphatically dissent. We should overrule Martin, supra, and reinstate Hedrick v. Motorists Mut. Ins. Co. (1986), 22 Ohio St.3d 42, 22 OBR 63, 488 N.E.2d 840.
