## Opinion text

BYER, Judge,
concurring and dissenting opinion.
I agree with the majority’s decision on the immunity question. However, I respectfully dissent from the majority’s decision to affirm based upon exclusivity of the workmen’s compensation remedy. I believe that we should not affirm on that point, but remand to the trial court with direction to allow the plaintiff to file a second amended *508 complaint 1 in order to make the necessary allegations of personal animus, if the plaintiff is able to do so in good faith.
. The first amended complaint was not addressed to this issue.
