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.

Harold Richardson v. Tennessee Board of Dentistry - Concurring 01S01-9502-CH-00027 Authoring Judge: Justice Penny J. White Trial Court Judge: Chancellor C. Allen High At issue in this appeal by the Board of Dentistry is the validity and constitutionality of a proposed civil penalty against Harold Richardson for practicing dentistry and operating a dental clinic without a license. Also called into question is the authority of the Davidson County Chancery Court to resolve, on judicial review of an administrative order, constitutional issues that were not addressed in the administrative order. For the reasons that follow, we hold that the Chancery Court has jurisdiction to consider constitutional issues not addressed in the administrative proceeding. As a result, the Chancery Court's resolution of those issues in the first Chancery Court proceeding from which Richardson did not appeal, bars consideration of those issues. The judgment of the Court of Appeals is, therefore, reversed, and this matter is remanded to the Board of Dentistry for further proceedings.	Davidson	Supreme Court	12/28/95
Norma Sue Harrison v. James Nesbitt Harrison - Concurring 01S01-9412-CV-00l53 Authoring Judge: Justice Reid Trial Court Judge: Chancellor Robert E. Corlew, III This divorce case presents for review the judgment of the Court of Appeals, affirming the trial court, that a one-half undivided interest in a tract of real property is marital property within the meaning of Tenn. Code Ann. § 36- 4-121(b)(1)(B) (1991). This Court finds that the interest is the husband's separate property, not marital property, thus requiring that the Court of Appeals' decision be reversed.

State of Tennessee v. David Edward Howington 01S01-9407-CC-00073 Authoring Judge: Justice Adolpho A. Birch, Jr. Trial Court Judge: Judge John A. Gasaway The district attorney general refused to honor an informal immunity agreement1 made with David Edward Howington, the defendant. The reason stated for this refusal was the prosecutor's perception that Howington had not fulfilled his part of the bargain; that is, he had not testified truthfully at his preliminary hearing. He was subsequently tried and convicted of first-degree (felony) murder; he received a life sentence.	Montgomery	Supreme Court	10/09/95
