These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. ““We recognize that to permit Heflin to now seek damages for breach of warranty is contrary to our holding in Hudspeth Motors v. Wilkinson, 238 Ark. 410 , 382 S.W. 2d 191 , where this court held that there was no rejection or revocation by the buyer and we thus remanded the case for entry of a judgment in favor of the seller. Hudspeth was decided during the early years after the Uniform Commercial Code became effective in this State, and we were without benefit of briefs from both parties, only appellant submitting an abstract and a brief. We have now concluded, under the authority of the statutes cited in the previous paragraph, that this holding was in error and accordingly Hudspeth is overruled to the extent that the Circuit Court was directed to enter judgment for Hudspeth without first giving Wilkinson the opportunity to show damages for breach of warranty.””
