MR. JUSTICE JOHN C. HARRISON,
dissenting:
I dissent.
This is the second time that this case has been decided by a jury and unfortunately the second time the respondent has had to bear the costs of the appeal. Here, due to no fault of either the respondent or his attorney, this cost burden becomes his, due to the trial court’s deliberate disregard of this court’s previous Opinion.
This in my opinion is most unjust. Costs are provided by our statutes and this case is an example of a fair general rule working a hardship in this specific instance. I wish it were possible here to make a different assessment of the costs.
