MONTGOMERY, Judge,
dissenting:
I respectfully dissent. I believe the charge of the lower court, considered as a whole, does not provide a basis for the Appellant to be awarded a new trial on any ground. The majority finds that the lower court should have directed the jury to make a particular finding that premiums were due during a time period during which I believe the evidence established grounds for a reasonable difference of opinion. Thus, I believe that a jury question existed on the issue, and that the evidence justified the jury’s conclusion that the Defendant-Appellee should not have been held liable for premiums. I would affirm the lower court’s denial of Appellant’s request for a new trial.
