I concur in that portion of the opinion that holds that "if a good count and a bad count go to the jury and the jury returns a general verdict, this Court cannot presume that the verdict was returned on the good count."
I cannot agree, however, that the plaintiff is entitled to a new trial on the AEMLD claim, and I cite the reader to my dissent in Caterpillar Tractor Co. v. Ford, 406 So.2d 854
(Ala. 1981) (a 5-4 decision of this Court). This case is relied on heavily by the majority to support its decision. I still think that Caterpillar was incorrectly decided.
ALMON, J., concurs.
