The opinion

John I. Purtle, Justice, dissenting. I disagree with the majority veiw because it appears to me that Ark. Stat. Ann. § 27-1764 (Repl. 1979) means what it says:

In all actions for damages for personal injuries ... in which recovery is predicated upon fault, liability shall be determined by comparing the fault. . . .

A guest suing for injuries would seem to me to fit into the above language. Therefore, it is my opinion the guest statute as such has been repealed by the General Assembly through enactment of the above statute.
