The opinion
Darrell Hickman, Justice, concurring. I wholeheartedly agree with the majority decision. I write separately only to point out that I was one of two members of the court who dissented in Newton & Fitzgerald v. Clark, 266 Ark. 237 , 582 S.W.2d 955 (1979). I find the facts of that case, which involved the appellant Georgia-Pacific, and the legal arguments made there, very similar to those in this case. There are even more compelling arguments present in this case to justify the action taken by the trial court.
