## Opinion text

STEPHENS, J.
I concur in the reversal.
I do not read the allegations of the amended complaint as strictly as did the trial court and my associates. While the pleading may be subject to special demurrer, under the liberal principles of pleading, the plaintiff alleged sufficient facts to bring it within the purview of Government Code section 4107, subdivision (a). I would therefore reverse on the estoppel ground as well as on the constitutional issue.
Respondent’s petition for a hearing by the Supreme Court was denied August 13, 1969.
