On October 8, 1980, James Beach Platt, III (the husband) filed a petition in the Circuit Court for Baltimore County to amend, nunc pro tunc, a decree issued on December 16, 1975, divorcing him a vinculo matrimonii from Grace Dryfoos Platt (the wife). The wife demurred and the court sustained the demurrer without leave to amend. The husband appealed. The Court of Special Appeals affirmed the judgment in an unreported opinion and we granted certiorari.
