Tyson Foods, Inc. v. Guthrie , 1989 Okla. Civ. App. LEXIS 17 ( 1989 )

HUNTER, Presiding Judge,

concurs in part, dissents in part.

I dissent from that portion of the opinion awarding attorney fees for a meritless appeal under Title 20 O.S.1982 Supp. § 15.1. That statute is composed of two short sentences which I believe must be read together, giving meaning to every word. Both sentences speak to an additional attorney fee. I believe this statute is limited to those cases in which an attorney fee is allowed by law to the prevailing party in the trial court. I concur in the remainder of the opinion.
