Head Matter:
David PINZL and Diana Pinzl, Appellants, v. Donald LAPOINTE and Deliah Lapointe, Appellees.
No. 82-658.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
Feb. 2, 1983.
Edward A. Broyles, Forest City, for appellants.
Mark 0. Cooper of Bornstein, Petree, Brooks, Cooper & Marks, Orlando, for ap-pellees.

Opinion:
SHARP, Judge.
We reverse this judgment which dismissed appellants' amended complaint for failure to state a cause of action in fraud or misrepresentation. The lower court ruled that, because the complaint alleged the appellants knew of a discrepancy between the accountant's figures on gross income and the appellees' figures, as a matter of law they waived their claim against appellees. Reliance on misrepresentations and a duty to inquire are usually determinations for the trier of fact. Here the complaint further alleged that the appellants were repeatedly assured that the ap-pellees' figures on gross income were correct — not the accountant's. Accordingly, the judgment is reversed and this cause remanded.
REVERSED AND REMANDED.
