Tears ot Litigation The appeal follows years of Iitt in connection with a fire which destroyed the home of Mr. Curlett in Westlock in November, 1933. At the time there was (22.130 of insurance on the home and contents and following the fire an Investigation was held by the provincial fire commissioners department and representatives of the fire loss bureau. No suspicion was cast on the owner although the reports stated the insurance was thought excessive. The companies paid claims of more than $20,000 following adjustment.

Then followed a further Inquiry into circumstances of the fire. The fire commissioners did not take action against Curlett but the provincial attorney-general took fraud action against him in 1938. Curlett was acquitted by a Judge and jury and a later appeal by the crown was dismissed. Was Awarded Damages In October of last year, Curlett'a "malicious prosecution" action against the companies was completed and he was awarded $16,667 damages. In the current appeal against that ruling, counsel for the companies claim their clients were not the prosecutors.

It is argued the provincial attorney-general took the action and the companies and individuals Involved are not guilty of any malice. it was contended the crewn officers took all responsibility for the prosecution and that there la no evidence the companies brought any pressure on the crown.
