J. JONES, J.,
specially concurring.
I concur in the Court’s opinion. In my estimation, Lopez obtained a good result for J-U-B and should not have been subjected to this litigation. Further, Security Insurance carried out its responsibilities to J-U-B and I would hold in Part III.B.2 that Security Insurance did not breach its contract, including the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. One further observation is pertinent. A reputation as a pugnacious litigator may be valuable, if it is based upon pugnaciously litigating meritorious issues. It is counterproductive when it extends to litigation of meritless claims.
