1Opinion of the CourtDanhof, J.
Plaintiffs appeal from the trial court’s finding of no cause of action and judgment for defendants entered on November 24, 1970.
Plaintiff, Helen Bachor, is an 80-year-old widow. Her daughter, Dorothy Bachor, is a 58-year-old single woman who is deaf. Neither has had any formal legal training. They initiated the present action against defendants on October 23, 1969, with the filing of a complaint. They proceeded in pro per, because they had been allegedly thwarted by the prohibitive fees of private attorneys and the inaction by pro bono legal aid services.
