How courts have described this case

• holding that a dismissal without prejudice does not sufficiently conclude the matter such that a determination of the prevailing party as basis for statutory attorneys’ fees award in a contract action can be stated with certainty
• the appellate court may always enter such judgment as the chancery court should have entered upon the undisputed facts in the record
• “While this statement of the court [in Marsh & McLennan of Arkansas v. Herget, 321 Ark. 180, 900 S.W.2d 195 (1995)] is dicta, as the commissioners and the sewer district point out, it may nonetheless be persuasive and useful.”
