Upon review and consideration of the briefs, record on appeal and oral argument we are of the opinion that plaintiff established a prima facie case sufficient to withstand the entry of a final judgment based upon defendants’ motion for directed verdict (involuntary dismissal). Tillman v. Baskin, 260 So.2d 509 (Fla. 1972); Preisner v. Cropf, 278 So.2d 295 (Fla. 4th DCA 1973). Accordingly, the judgment is reversed and the cause is remanded for a new trial. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as constituting any determination whatsoever on the relative merits of the respective parties’ claims and defenses.

REVERSED AND REMANDED.
