1Opinion of the Court
OPALA, Justice.
The dispositive first impression question presented on certiorari is whether the plaintiff’s amended petition meets the “particularity” requirement of the Oklahoma Pleading Code, 12 O.S.Supp.1984 § 2009(B), 1 in alleging fraud against multiple defendants. We answer in the affirmative and hold that the trial court erred when it (1) dismissed the plaintiff’s action for failure to allege fraud with sufficient particularity and (2) issued certain defendants protective orders that relieved them of their obligation to answer interrogatories.
