Quinn, P. J.,
(dissenting). Being an appellate judge and not an appellate advocate, I must dissent.. The majority opinion is based on a theory not plead*641ed by plaintiff nor raised before tbe trial court. Furthermore, the theory adopted by the majority opinion was neither briefed nor argued by plaintiff before this Court.
If this Court does not consider theories not presented to the trial court, Kirby v. Monroe Paper Products Company (1965), 1 Mich App 680, we could not properly reach the result of-the majority opinion had plaintiff briefed or argued on appeal the theory adopted by the majority opinion. When the additional fact that plaintiff neither briefed nor argued such theory on appeal is considered, it appears to me that the majority opinion has exceeded the appellate jurisdiction’of this Court.
On this record, the grant of defendant’s motion for summary judgment was proper and legally correct. I vote to affirm.
