Larry Aubrey Henson, v. Elizabeth Ellen Sorrell - Concurring/Dissenting
I write separately only to indicate disagreement with an inference that may be drawn from the majority opinion. The last sentence in the opinion states that a party such as Henson may recover damages immediately flowing from the wrongful conduct, as in Smith v. Gore, 728 S.W.2d 738 (Tenn. 1987). As noted in the majority opinion, the plaintiff mother in Smith was permitted to recover in a medical malpractice action for damages immediately related to pregnancy and childbirth. |

Rita Jean Fisher, v. Lena Green and Gloria Smith
This is a nuisance action by one neighbor against another. The plaintiff alleged in her lawsuit that the defendant took action to cause flooding on the plaintiff’s property. The trial court found that the defendant had taken actions that resulted in flooding and enjoined further such actions, but found the evidence insufficient to award the plaintiff monetary damages for alleged damage to her home. The plaintiff appeals, and we affirm. |

Katherine Jewell Smith and Jimmie Lewis Smith v. Methodist Hospitals Memphis, Keith G. Anderson, M.D. and The Sutherland Clinic, Inc., F/K/A Cardiology Consultants of Memphis
This interlocutory appeal involves an action by a setling tortfeasor for contribution from an alleged joint tortfeasor. Defendant/cross-plaintiff, Methodist Hospital of Memphis (Methodist), appeals from the order of the trial court dismissing its cross-complaint for contribution against defendant/cross-defendant, Keith G. Anderson, M.D. Apparently, Smith reluctantly included Anderson as a defendant and chose not to prosecute her claim against him. In a Motion in Limine filed April 18, 1997, Smith stated that she would not seek to produce expert testimony in her case against Anderson, and he agreed not to seek a directed verdict because of absence of expert proof.

Sarah May (Childers) (Harrison) Anderson, v. William Travis Harrison, Sr.
Plaintiff Sarah May Anderson appeals the trial court’s order enforcing the final divorce decree which was previously entered by the court in December 1981. The trial court enforced the decree’s provision relative to the division of the parties’ former marital home by requiring Defendant/Appellee William Travis Harrison, Sr., to pay to the Plaintiff the sum of $12,084.36 for her interest in the property. The trial court enforced the decree’s provision requiring the Defendant to pay a reasonable amount of child support to the Plaintiff by ordering the Defendant to pay to the Plaintiff the sum of $2250 for nine months of child support; however, the court ruledthat all other claims for child support were barred by the ten-year statute of limitations applicable to actions on judgments and decrees. Based on our conclusion that both of these rulings were in error, we modify in part, affirm in part, and reverse in part the trial court’s judgment. |
