The following excerpt is from Weiner v. Davies, 248 Cal.App.2d 387, 56 Cal.Rptr. 546 (Cal. App. 1967):
One other principle should be brought to mind before we return to our survey of the procedural procession. It is that: 'The power of a trial or appellate court to order a new trial on fewer than all the issues is generally recognized (citing authorities). * * * Such retrials should be granted, however, only if it is clear that no injustice will result. (Citing authorities.) (Leipert v. Honold (1952) 39 Cal.2d 462, 466, 247 P.2d 324, 327.)
