ala · 1996 · cited in 1 Alabama opinions naming this issue, 1996–1996
2 sentences

1996In my opinion, this should not be the analysis undertaken by a judge when determining whether an insurer can be held liable for "bad faith." [7] That the Court has modified the Chavers test is shown by its holding in this case that "the trial court need not expressly direct a verdict in favor of the plaintiff on a breach of contract claim in order to submit a bad faith claim to the jury," and that "[t]he trial court must simply determine that the plaintiff has met the standard of proof required for a directed verdict." 679 So.2d at 235 (n. 2).
