Judge Wells
dissenting:
In these times, speculators in real property ventures often solicit investments on a nationwide basis. I believe that these circumstances make it just as important today as it was when Bullington v. Angel, 220 N.C. 18, 16 S.E. 2d 411 (1941), see also Angel v. Bullington, 330 U.S. 183, 67 S.Ct. 657, 91 L.Ed. 832 (1947) was written that we continue to adhere to the public policy doctrine position adopted then, and that we accordingly continue to deny access to our courts to obtain or enforce judgments for real property purchase money deficiency judgments. For these reasons, I vote to reverse the trial court, it being my position that the defendant was entitled to summary judgment.
