Opinion

majority opinion

PER CURIAM.

Writ granted. There is a genuine issue of material fact as to whether St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company had a reasonable subjective belief that an attorney-client relationship existed. As such, the granting of a motion for summary judgment in favor of defendants was error. The granting of the motion for summary judgment by the trial court is vacated and the matter is remanded to the trial court for trial.

KIMBALL, C.J. and KNOLL, J., would deny.
