Text: ¶ 10. In reversing the chancellor regarding American Guarantee's duty to pay Fuselier's attorneys' fees and remanding for a determination of reasonable attorney's fees incurred in defense of Moeller's complaint, this Court announced that the appeal dealt with the special chancellor's refusal to award attorney's fees for defending the complaint of Moeller and pre-judgment interest. Moeller, 707 So.2d at 1068. At the conclusion of the analysis of this issue, this Court stated: It follows that American Guarantee is liable for the reasonable legal expenses Fuselier, Ott and McKee incurred in the defense of the complaint, and the special chancellor's holding that American Guarantee was not liable for such expenses is reversed. Id. at 1071. While the mandate at the end of the opinion did not specifically articulate that American Guarantee was liable for prejudgment interest, it is clear from the reference to prejudgment interest earlier in the opinion that it was included in this Court's reasoning in reversing the special chancellor's ruling.
