DISSENTING OPINION OF
MIZUHA, J.
I respectfully dissent. After briefing and argument, this court is now, sua sponte, remanding the matter to the trial court under Rule 73 (a), H.R.C.P., on the ground that we have no jurisdiction to hear and determine the case. I see no justification for the strict application of the rule since it does not affect the basic rights of the parties to the appeal. After entry of a written order by the trial court, the parties must repeat the entire appellate process. This ruling merely serves to delay the final disposition of the merits of the case by this court at additional expense to the litigants.
