Our review of this appeal leads us to conclude that in the interest of justice, the final judgment should be reversed and the appellant accorded a new trial in light of Hutchison v. Tompkins, Fla.App.1972, 259 So.2d 129 — which was decided after the final judgment was rendered. On remand, the trial court shall permit the parties to make such amendments to their pleadings as they may be advised.

Reversed and remanded with instructions.
