KAUGER, Justice,
concurring specially:
I agree with the majority opinion that Perlinger v. J.C. Rogers Constr. Co., 753 P.2d 905, 907 (Okla.1988), and LaBarge v. Zebco, 769 P.2d 125,127 (Okla.1988), should be suspended until “... such time as cases shall come before us tried after mandate herein.” I also agree that, after these conditions have been met, employers and employees alike must present competent evidence of injury at the time of trial — there will be no more “overs.” This rule is necessary to preserve judicial economy, and to assure that there will be a meaningful end to litigation.
