## Opinion text

WELLIVER, Judge,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent.
Since all of the parties defendant in a declaratory judgment action such as this have an interest adverse to the plaintiff insurance company, I am at a loss to understand how this Court can find the trial court errors in denying the admission of plaintiff’s tendered evidence to be so “manifestly nonprejudicial.”
I would reverse.
