In light of the defendants’ stipulation to the latency of Janice Russo’s disease and this Court’s prior findings concerning the existence of a medical malpractice insurance crisis in the 1970s, the Court of Appeal erred in reversing the District Court’s judgment and remanding this matter for a Sibley v. Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University, 477 So.2d 1094 (La.1985), hearing on these issues. See Crier v. Whitecloud, 496 So.2d 305, 308-09 (La.1986); see also, Branch v.
