No. 95-687-Appeal.

694 A.2d 691 (1997)

Eileen HENNESSEY et al. v. Michael G. PYNE et al.

Supreme Court of Rhode Island.

May 13, 1997.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Edward L. Gnys, Jr., Christopher M. Rawson, Providence, for Plaintiff.

Mark W. Dana, Daniel McKiernan, James S. D'Ambra, Providence, for Defendant.

Present: WEISBERGER, C.J., and LEDERBERG, BOURCIER, and FLANDERS, JJ.

OPINION

FLANDERS, Justice.

This appeal from a summary judgment requires us to tee off on these questions for the first time in Rhode Island.1
