791 So. 2d 107 (2001)
Virginia Gail EDWARDS, et al.
v.
Edward M. DAUGHERTY, Jr., et al.
No. 2001-C-0540.
Supreme Court of Louisiana.
April 27, 2001.
Writ granted in part; otherwise denied. The ruling of the court of appeal is vacated to the extent that it does anything other than 1) reverse the judgment of the trial court of May 9, 2000; 2) reinstate the original trial court judgment; and 3) reverse the judgment against Continental Casualty Company. The case is remanded to the trial court for the taking of evidence on whether defendant Sphere Drake Insurance, P.L.C. was an admitted carrier and whether the policy at issue was a surplus lines policy at the time of issuance. If so, the trial judge should determine the amount remaining available, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the policy, for satisfaction of the judgment rendered in *108 the case. The propriety of that determination may thereafter be raised by any party aggrieved.
