JUSTICE SULLIVAN, specially concurring: While I concur with the result reached in the opinion, it should be noted, for future reference, that no motion was made by defendant to test the sufficiency of plaintiff’s complaint by motions to strike or dismiss, and this should have been done before the motion for summary judgment was considered. See Janes v. First Federal Savings & Loan Association (1974), 57 Ill. 2d 398, 406, where the court stated: “When, and only when, a legally sufficient cause of action had been stated should the court have entertained the motions for summary judgment and considered the affidavits filed in support thereof.”
