Justice TOM GRAY
concurring.
I concur with my opinion in every respect. I would add that upon remand the parties should be afforded the full protections due them under our Rules of Civil Procedure to engage in discovery for developing evidence and for presenting it to a jury. This case has consumed far too much of our judicial resources to warrant anything less than a careful, studied, textbook-style proceeding. I am confident that the trial court will make it so. In addition, because of the issues presented, I believe it unlikely that this case will again be assigned to a trial judge who has had any prior involvement in it; therefore, it is unnecessary for me to reach Sue’s issues regarding her motions to recuse the particular judge who heard the trial.
