City of Little Rock v. Cash, 277 Ark. 494, 644 S.W.2d 229 (1982), overruled on other grounds by T & T Chemical, Inc. v. Priest, 351 Ark. 537, 95 S.W.3d 750 (2003).
The opinion
John I. Purtle, Justice, dissenting. I would grant the petition for rehearing in the matter of the appellant’s attorney fee. The attorney had absolutely no conflict of interest. The City of Little Rock obviously broke its word of honor. The City further persuaded a majority of this court to deny the attorney any compensation whatsoever for his work, which action by the City smacks of pure spite and retaliation. If it were the intent of the majority to chill and discourage attorneys from undertaking class actions against a governmental unit then the opinion is eminently successful. We should right the wrong which we committed in the initial opinion. I would grant the rehearing.
