Guy Alexander, Jr., Royce Taylor, and Skyline Apartments Partnership v. Third National Bank
01S01-9411-CV-00147
Authoring Judge: Justice Lyle Reid
Trial Court Judge: Judge Barbara N. Haynes

This case presents for review the decision of the Court of Appeals sustaining the defendant's motion for summary judgment on the ground the suit is barred by the three year statute of limitations. This Court finds the essential cause of action alleged is breach of contract rather than injury to property and, therefore, the applicable limitation period is six years rather than three years.

Davidson Supreme Court

Tom and Karen Moore, v. Lloyd A. Walwyn, M.D. - Dissenting
01A01-9507-CV-00295
Authoring Judge: Judge William C. Koch, Jr.

Both the trial court and the majority of this panel have decided that Tom and Karen Moore are not entitled to a jury trial on their medical malpractice claim against Dr. Lloyd A. Walwyn because of shortcomings in the affidavits they filed in opposition to Dr. Walwyn’s motion for summary judgment. While I do not relish defending sloppy lawyering, I am convinced that my colleagues have scrutinized the Moores’ counter-affidavits using standards stricter than those required by Tenn. R. Civ. P. 56.05 and Tenn. Code Ann. § 29-26-115 (1980). I would vacate the summary judgment because the counter-affidavits demonstrate the existence of genuine and material factual issues that only a jury should resolve.

Authoring Judge: Judge Hewitt Tomlin
Trial Court Judge: Judge Barbara N. Haynes

The sole issue presented by this appeal is whether the trial court was in error in so doing. For the reasons herein set forth, we find no error and affirm.
