The summary judgment for the defendant entered below is reversed and the cause remanded for further proceedings. The defendant’s affidavit, which was filed before answer and which did no more than generally deny the allegations of the complaint in conclusory terms, did not sustain her affirmative burden to demonstrate conclusively the absence of a genuine issue of material fact.
