Gary Paul v. Dennis Watson and Darlene Watson d/b/a Double D Lawn Care and Landscaping

This case involves an alleged oral contract for landscaping work. The homeowner paid a
considerable amount of money to the landscaper during the project, but when the landscaper failed to complete the project, the homeowner demanded a refund. When the landscaper refused to refund any money, the homeowner sued, alleging breach of contract, a violation of the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act, conversion, and negligent and intentional misrepresentation. The trial court ruled that the homeowner was entitled to a refund only of his last payment to the landscaper before the landscaper left the job, as well as attorney fees. The homeowner appealed. Following an order from this court directing the homeowner to obtain a final judgment, the trial court entered an amended judgment denying the homeowner’s claim pursuant to the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act. Because we conclude that the trial court failed to rule on the homeowner’s claims for conversion and misrepresentation, we dismiss this appeal for lack of a final judgment.
