dissenting.
*213For the reasons stated in my dissent in School Bd. of the City of Norfolk v. U.S. Gypsum, 234 Va. 32, 48-53, 360 S.E.2d 325, 333, 336 (1987), I think that the General Assembly does have the constitutional power to revive a right of action which has been barred by a purely procedural statute of limitation. Accordingly, I dissent in this case.
