Heading: Bad FaithAdditional Living Expenses

Text: We recognize the Hilleys' position that Allstate's conduct, through the actions of Frazier, who conditioned additional living expense payments to the Hilleys on their executing a release, constituted bad faith. However, because we have affirmed the summary judgment for Allstate as to the Hilleys' breach of contract claim with regard to additional living expenses, we must affirm the summary judgment for Allstate as to the claim of bad faith refusal to pay with regard to additional living expenses. See Strickland v. Alabama Farm Bureau Mutual Cas. Ins. Co., supra; Madison County Sheriff's Posse, Inc. v. Horseman's United Ass'n, Inc., supra. AFFIRMED. HORNSBY, C.J., and MADDOX, JONES, SHORES, STEAGALL and KENNEDY, JJ., concur. ALMON, J., concurs in the result.
