## Opinion text

*855 HAMLIN, Justice
(concurring in part ■and dissenting in part):
I respectfully concur in part with and dissent in part from the majority opinion.
I concur in the result as to a review.
I dissent from the majority opinion insofar as it holds that no appeal lies to the district court.
■''While I realize that much effort has 'been expended in the writing of the opinion,''t'--am of the view that the protracted ■discussion was unnecessary. This matter <c‘ould have easily been decided by adopting ■.the- philosophy óf the Code of Civil Procedure' set' forth' in Article 5051, which recites:
"The articles of this Code are to be construed liberally, and with due regard ■ for' the fact that rules of procedure implement the substantive law and are not an end in themselves.”
