Reversed. The entry of a final judgment was error because no notice of trial was properly given. A notice of hearing merely stating that an “evidentiary hearing” will be held is, without more, insufficient to give proper notice to a party that a full trial on the merits of all issues in the case will be held at the specified time. We also reject the argument that the record demonstrates with adequate clarity a waiver of the notice issue by acquiescence in the trial court’s insistence that counsel present her case.

SHAHOOD and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.
