Description

Appellant, Kathleen Leaf, filed a petition to compel arbitration against appellee State Farm, which filed an answer, alleging
that it had not agreed to arbitration pursuant to the terms of the insurance policy. The issue of whether State Farm had agreed
to arbitration was tried before a jury, which returned a verdict finding that State Farm had consented to arbitration of the
claim in question. State Farm filed a motion to strike Leaf's claim for attorney's fees on the ground that there was no statutory or contractual
basis for the claim for attorney's fees. The motion was granted. A motion for a rehearing of the court's striking of Leaf's
motion for attorney's fees was denied. Thereafter, the trial court entered a final judgment granting Leaf's petition to compel
arbitration but striking Leaf's claim for attorney's fees.
