Beasley, Judge,
concurring specially.
With respect to Division 1,1 agree and wish to add the following. *446Appellants’ position seems to be that they had an unqualified right to amend, a right so unquestionable that it needs no citation or argument but only a reference to the record page whereon is recounted the attempt to amend and the court’s refusal. However, amending the complaint after plaintiffs had rested required leave of court, OCGA § 9-11-15 (a), and plaintiffs must show an abuse of discretion. Mulkey v. Gen. Motors Corp., 164 Ga. App. 752 (299 SE2d 48) (1982). They have not even begun to do so.
