Heading: Was Beck Enterprises, Inc. entitled to a directed verdict?

Text: Appellant Beck contends it was entitled to a directed verdict because the Hesters allegedly failed to prove that Beck had been notified of any breach of warranty as required by Miss. Code Ann. § 75-2-607(3)(a) or had been given an opportunity to cure the defects as allowed by § 75-2-508. Appellant Beck also contends that the Hesters failed to prove the value of the truck had been substantially impaired, a requirement for proper revocation of acceptance. See Miss. Code Ann. § 75-2-608 (1972). All of Beck's arguments under this assignment of error concern the Hesters' remedy for breach of implied warranty. This Court agrees with appellant that the requirements of § 75-2-608 are lacking. But as previously mentioned, the Hesters employed two theories of recovery  breach of implied warranty and fraud. Beck makes no argument concerning a directed verdict on the issue of fraud. The Court holds there was sufficient evidence on disputed testimony to present a jury question on the issue of common law fraud. Therefore, this assignment of error is without merit regarding the fraud basis of recovery.
