John Wesley Green v. Edna L. Green, et al.

Judgment debtor filed motion seeking to enjoin execution sale at which stock owned by debtor in judgment creditor corporation was scheduled to be sold; alternatively, debtor sought to quash the execution, alleging that the stock was exempt property. At execution sale, debtor’s stock was purchased by judgment creditor. Debtor subsequently sought to have execution sale set aside, alleging that there were defects in the manner in which the sale was conducted and asserting that the trial court should have held a hearing on his motion to quash the execution prior to the sale. Following a hearing the trial court denied relief holding that debtor had not pursued his request for injunctive relief and that the motion to quash was moot. Debtor appealed. While this case was pending on appeal, the Tennessee Supreme Court reversed the summary judgment against debtor, which led to the monetary judgment the execution sale was held to enforce and remanded for a trial on the merits. Having determined that the resolution of the issues raised in this appeal is subject to factual determinations which are within the scope of the remand, we vacate the decision of the trial court and remand this case for consideration in light of the issues to be determined.
