750 charsThat practice of peremptory reversal for failure of proof, however, is subject to the paramount rule of fair adjudications. Thus, where the failure of proof results from a misconceived theory of recovery, but the evidence nevertheless shows a state of facts which may entitle the plaintiff to recover under a proper theory, in the interests of justice — and where the theory asserted at trial was not for strategic advantage — “ ‘the judgment will not be reversed outright, but instead in the exercise of a sound judicial discretion, the case will be remanded to give [the plaintiff! the opportunity to amend his petition, if so advised, so as to state a case upon the theory which his evidence discloses.” 731 S.W.2d at 31-32 (emphasis in original).
