ZIMMERMAN, Justice
(concurring in the result):
I agree that the decision below should be affirmed. However, I join the result reached by the majority only because any error committed by the trial court in unreasonably refusing either to grant a continuance or to exclude the evidence made known to Christenson immediately before trial in violation of the court’s orders has not been shown to have sufficiently undermined the outcome so as to lead me to believe that the error was harmful under the harmless error test of Utah Rule of Civil Procedure 61 and Utah Rule of Evidence 103(a). See Ashton v. Ashton, 733 P.2d 147, 154 (Utah 1987); Redevelopment Agency of Roy v. Jones, 743 P.2d 1233, 1235 (Utah Ct. App.1987); see also State v. Knight, 734 P.2d 913, 919-20 (Utah 1987).
