## Opinion text

Clifford, J.

J. 500 (1970), as including the allowance of suits by a parent against an unemancipated minor child for the cause of action referred to in that opinion. I do not, at this point in this interlocutory proceeding, intimate any view on the underlying policy *72 considerations affecting the doctrine of intra-family immunity as expressed in Koplik v. C. P. Trucking Corp., 27 N. J. 1 (1958); Hastings v. Hastings, 33 N. J. 247 (1960); Heyman v. Gordon, 40 N. J. 52 (1963); Franco v. Davis, 51 N. J. 237 (1968) and Immer v. Risko, 56 N. J. 482 (1970).
