HALL, Justice
(concurring with reservation):
Summary judgment is a ruling of the court as a matter of law and is only appropriate when no genuine issue of material fact exists.
I agree that summary judgment was not proper in this case because of the existence of the various issues of fact noted in the main opinion that may only be determined by a fact-finder. Consequently, I concur in reversing and remanding for trial on the issues that exist with respect to the claim of Martsch, Ashworth and the Bank.
It being the prerogative of the fact-finder to hear the evidence, make findings of fact, and draw inferences and conclusions of law therefrom to support its judgment, I do not adopt the “statement of facts” set forth in the main opinion except to the extent necessary to support the Court’s conclusion that issues of fact are present requiring a trial.
WILKINS, Justice, concurs in the views expressed in the concurring opinion of HALL, J.
