The opinion

TAYLOR, J.,

concurs in part, dissents in part, with whom WINCHESTER, C.J., joins:

I concur in Part I. I dissent to Part ILI. For the same reasons stated by the Court of Civil Appeals, I would enforce the agreement not to sue. This agreement was negotiated by the plaintiff's counsel in order to secure the physicians' assistance in the plaintiffs suit against the hospital. The plaintiff accepted *491 all benefits of that agreement. The physicians acted in reliance upon the agreement.

REIF, J., disqualified.
