KEENAN, Justice.

In this appeal of a medical malpractice action, we consider whether the trial court erred in sustaining demurrers on two grounds: (1) that the plaintiff was barred from recovery by his participation in an illegal act, based on Zysk v. Zysk, 239 Va. 32, 404 S.E.2d 721 (1990); and (2) that his cause of action was further barred against one defendant by the doctrine of sovereign immunity.
