*536EDMONDS, J.,
specially concurring.
The dissent would hold that this record contains no evidence that the representations made by Reedy were false. The lead opinion holds that a contrary inference can be drawn from plaintiffs testimony quoted in its opinion. I cannot draw such an inference. However, in her affidavit in contravention of defendant’s motion, plaintiff averred, “I subsequently found out that Mr. Reedy had been untruthful to me.” Plaintiff is entitled to all reasonable inferences from her evidence that can be drawn in her favor and against defendant on a summary judgment motion. Uihlein v. Albertson’s, Inc., 282 Or 631, 634, 580 P2d 1014 (1978). The quoted statement follows references by plaintiff in her affidavit regarding Reedy’s representations. Without commenting on the admissibility of that testimony, if an objection had been made, I would conclude that it is evidence from which an inference can be drawn that Reedy’s representations were false when made. Only on the basis of that inference do I agree with the lead opinion.
