JOPLIN, J.,
dissenting.
T14 In this case, a homeowner's association seeks to invoke the legal remedies of a judgment lien, foreclosure of that lien, sale of Appellant's home and attorney's fees. All of these remedies are purportedly granted in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions and By-laws of the Association.
15 Yet, neither the Association's attorney, the trial court, nor the majority of this Court seem troubled by the fact that summary judgment was granted to the Association without the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions ever being submitted as evidentiary materials or reviewed by any court.
116 It seems to me that granting this judgment by rumor constitutes a pure error of law and I would reverse.
