[1] ORDER
[2] This case came before a hearing panel of this court on May 17, 1983 pursuant to an order directed to both parties to show cause why this appeal should not be summarily decided. After hearing the arguments of counsel and examining the memoranda filed, we are of the opinion that the judgment dismissing the plaintiff's complaint pursuant to Super.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6) was erroneous. The allegations of the complaint clearly raised a question of fact concerning actual notice. Therefore, the necessary predicate for granting of a motion to dismiss was not established. Bragg v. Warwick Shoppers World, Inc., 102 R.I. 8,227 A.2d 582 (1967). Consequently, the plaintiff's appeal is sustained, the judgment of the Superior Court is vacated, and the papers in the case may be remanded to the Superior Court for further proceedings.
