Docket entry

050544 Hubbard v. Dresser, Inc. 01/13/2006 In a case alleging breaches of express and implied warranties in the sale of petroleum dispensing equipment, it was error to sustain a demurrer against a pleading which alleged an express warranty by the defendant, rather than merely stating the legal bases upon which such a warranty might have been created. The trial court further erred in sustaining a demurrer to a count pleading violation of the implied warranty of merchantability, because it is not necessary to plead with specificity the specific trade or industry standard for merchantability in order to withstand a demurrer. The judgment is reversed and the case is remanded.
