Oklahoma Code Comment
(1)
- (a) This is consistent with previous Oklahoma decisions. Western Rope & Mfg. Co. v. Overland Petroleum Co., 98 Okl. 5, 223 P. 659 (1924); Automobile Ins. Co. of Hartford, Conn. v. Lewis, 93 Okl. 280, 220 P. 639, 35 A.L.R. 1463 (1923).
(b) There are no previous Oklahoma decisions. It does not specifically say that use of the

- (c) There are no previous Oklahoma decisions.
