The opinion
*635 Brachtenbach, J.
(concurring in part; dissenting in part) —By concurring in the opinion by Justice Finley I do not intend to express any opinion as to the merits of the case. I did not participate in the original decision as I was not then a member of the court. My function is thus limited to joining with Justice Hamilton in holding that this matter, at this stage, is not convertible to a class action and agreeing with Justice Finley’s dissent as to reinstatement of the original opinion. I view neither action as reaching the merits.
