WOLLMAN, Justice
(concurring specialty)-
Because Instructions 10 and 14 permitted defendant to argue the substance of his contributory negligence defense theory, I agree that defendant was not prejudiced by the trial court’s refusal to permit defendant to amend his answer. I would not want to intimate that contributory negligence may not be a defense in breach of warranty actions, however, since the contributory misconduct of a plaintiff apparently is a defense in such actions, whether expressly recognized as such or not. See White & Summers, Handbook of the Law Under the Uniform Commercial Code § 11-7, pp. 335-339.
