Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by Garnishee, an insurance company, appeals from judgments entered against it in a garnishment proceeding. The judgments require it to pay the full amounts of judgments previously entered against one of its policy holders in a tort action. It contends that the policy defense of noncooperation was established, that the plaintiffs had the burden of disproving this policy defense, and that plaintiffs introduced no evidence and thus failed in their burden of proof. The plaintiffs, who sought and obtained the order of garnishment, have cross-appealed from the disallowance of reasonable attorney fees. They contend the insurance company refused to pay their claim without just cause or excuse. See K.S.A. 40-256.
