ON MOTION FOR REHEARING
Appellee, in his motion for rehearing, urges that if the judgment of the trial Court is not affirmed, then in the alternative those issues with regard to acceptance of the mobile home and breach of warranty should be severed and the case remanded only for a determination of the damages arising from a breach of warranty. In its reply to the motion for rehearing, Appellant states: “ * * * that regardless of the terms of the contract Appellant is bound by express warranties based on the Uniform Commercial Code.”
Under our original holding that Appellee accepted the mobile home, as a matter of law, by his continued use and exercise of dominion oyer the mobile home, and Appellant’s acknowledgment, if admitted in the trial Court as it is here, that the warranties of the Uniform Commercial Code apply, then the only disputed issue for the trial Court may well be whether the warranties were breached and the damages resulting to the Appellee. Nevertheless, it is necessary to reverse and remand the entire case in order that the trial Court may enter a proper final judgment on all issues of the case including payment for the mobile home, transfer of title, and the damages, or credit against the purchase price, for breach of warranty, if any, as may be established.
The motion for rehearing is overruled.
