Cynar, J.
(concurring in part and dissenting in part). I concur in affirming the judgment against William S. Evans but dissent from the majority’s decision to reverse the judgment against Katherine D. Evans. The reversal of the judgment against Katherine D. Evans could result in impeding the enforceability of the judgment against William S. Evans.
Defendant Katherine D. Evans presented two arguments, both of which alleged that the trial court erred in refusing to grant her a new trial. While I would agree that the trial court erred in failing to grant a new trial against Katherine D. Evans, I would grant a new trial with instructions to permit the plaintiff to amend the pleadings if needed in proceeding with a new trial, rather than reverse the judgment.
