COOPER, Justice,
concurring.
I concur in the result reached by the majority. However, as stated in my dissent in Pan-American Life Ins. Co. v. Roethke, Ky., 30 S.W.3d 128 (2000), that case effectively deleted from our jurisprudence that aspect of Civil Rule 56.03 which formerly permitted the entry of a summary judgment premised upon the nonexistence of a genuine issue of material fact. In my view, Roethke essentially mooted the issue addressed in the majority opinion in this case, i.e., whether a party can “testify himself out of court.”
GRAVES and JOHNSTONE, JJ., join this concurring opinion.
