## Opinion text

Steele Hays, Justice, dissenting. I fail to see how we can sustain a summary dismissal of appellants’ cause of action when interrogatories to the appellees have not been answered. Whether the interrogatories would succeed in producing probative evidence can ’ t be j udged in the absence of responses and the appellants were entitled to have the benefit of that information before their claims are dismissed.
