Phyllis T. Craighead v. Bluecross Blueshield Of Tennessee, Inc., et al.

Case Number
M2007-01697-COA-R10-CV

We reverse the trial court’s finding that the immunity granted in the second sentence of Tenn. Code Ann. § 56-53-110 applied only where there was proof that actual malice was absent. With regard to the statute of limitations governing claims related to diminution in value to a business, where the gravamen of the complaint is for breach of contract, the six-year period of Tenn. Code Ann. § 28-3-109 governs, but where the gravamen of the complaint is for injury to property, the three-year period of Tenn. Code Ann. § 28-3-105 governs.
