Heading: The Complaint and the Trial

Text: In their complaint, the Bosarges alleged that the defendants breached various warranties  express, implied, and fitness: [T]he Defendants either failed, refused or were unable to repair said mobile home and after further refusal and/or failure to repair the plaintiffs advised the Defendants they were revoking acceptance of the mobile home due to the fact that the mobile home was substantially impaired to them. Vol. I, at 6. The Bosarges added that they have revoked acceptance by allowing the mobile home to be repossessed by the defendants and requested $25,000 in actual damages plus attorney's fees. See Anderson, Buyer's Damages for Breach in Regard to Accepted Goods, 57 MISS.L.J. 317 (1987). Prior to trial, Troy & Nichols paid the Bosarges $1,000 in an out-of-court settlement. Thus, North River remained as the sole defendant when trial commenced on June 24, 1988. During the trial, North River twice moved for a directed verdict  each time to no avail. Upon conclusion of trial, the jury found for the Bosarges and awarded them $9,126.61. The trial judge also awarded $7,083.84 in attorney's fees. North River subsequently filed motions for j.n.o.v., remittitur, and new trial  all of which the judge denied.
