Indian Hills Club Homeowner's Assn., Inc., v. Clayton L. and Cindy Cooper - Concurring 01A01-9507-CH-00319 Authoring Judge: Judge Alan E. Highers Trial Court Judge: Judge Charles Hill Beaty Indian Hills ClubHomeowners' Association ("Plaintiff"), filed suit against Clayton and Cindy Cooper ("Defendants"), seeking an injunction prohibiting Defendants from building a driveway extension/parking pad and walkway onto their property. The trial court granted Plaintiff a permanent injunction, holding that the proposed construction would violate certain restrictions of record that prohibited any construction or improvements without approval from the Board of Directors of the Indian Hills Homeowners' Association. Defendants have raised three issues for our consideration: (1) whether the Plaintiff's denial of Defendants' application and approval rested upon a lawful and legitimate basis; (2) whether the Board's decision to deny the application was an arbitrary and capricious exercise of control; and (3) whether it would be unfair and inequitable to enforce the restrictive covenant. For the reasons stated herein, we reverse the decision of the trial court and order that the injunction be dissolved.	Sumner	Court of Appeals	12/29/95
Davis vs. City of Clarksville M1999-00084-COA-R3-CV Authoring Judge: Judge Holly M. Kirby Trial Court Judge: James E. Walton This is a negligence suit under the Tennessee Governmental Tort Liability Act. The plaintiff is a city police officer who was injured while rushing an armed robbery suspect. The plaintiff rushed the robbery suspect when he moved from a position of cover to a position closer to the suspect, after his supervisor motioned him to move forward. The plaintiff sued the city, alleging that his injuries were caused by his supervisor's negligence. The trial court found that the supervisor was negligent and awarded the plaintiff $45,000 in damages. The city appeals. We reverse, finding that the evidence does not support a finding that the supervisor was negligent.	Montgomery	Court of Appeals	12/28/95
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

Kenneth O. Burnett & Vickie S. Burnett v. Frank E. Krisle & d/b/a Elite Electric - Concurring 01A01-9505-CV-00196 Authoring Judge: Judge Hewitt P. Tomlin Trial Court Judge: Judge Paul R. White Kenneth O. Burnett and Vickie S. Burnett ("plaintiffs") filed suit in the Davidson County Circuit Court against Frank E. Krisle, individually and d/b/a Elite Electric ("defendant") seeking damages resulting from a fire caused by defendant's negligence that destroyed plaintiffs' home. The jury awarded plaintiffs compensatory damages in the amount of $90,733.56, reduced by a finding that plaintiffs were ten percent (10%) at fault. Defendant's motion for a new trial was denied. On appeal defendant has presented three issues for our consideration: (1) whether there was any material evidence in the record to support the jury verdict; (2) whether the trial court erred in refusing to grant defendant a new trial or a remittitur; and (3) whether the trial court erred in refusing to allow defendant to present a witness for testifying after defendant had rested his case. We find no error and affirm.	Davidson	Court of Appeals	12/22/95
