Krivosha, C. J.,
concurring in the result.
I concur in the result reached by the majority in this case. I would do so, however, solely upon the ground that there was a question of fact as to whether Firmature willfully disregarded, in a material respect, an obligation which he owed to Brannon by reason of his agency relationship. That question of fact was resolved against Firmature and in favor of Brannon. On appeal *128the district court is required to review the case for error appearing on the record made in the county court. See Neb. Rev. Stat. § 24-541.06 (Reissue 1985). The district court is not free to make new findings of fact and must affirm the judgment entered by the county court unless the judgment cannot be supported by the evidence. My review of the record discloses such not to be the case, and while had I been deciding the case initially, I am likely to have reached a contrary view, neither the district court nor this court is free to make such determination.
