Ardis Mobile Home Park, v. State of Tennessee
03A01-9505-BC-00157
Authoring Judge: Judge Don T. McMurray
Trial Court Judge: Commissioner Michael S. Lacy

This is an appeal from a decision of the Tennessee Claims Commission wherein the commissioner determined that the occurrences at issue constituted a taking of property by the State of Tennessee rather than a nuisance. The commissioner concluded that the exclusive remedy for a taking is an inverse condemnation action pursuant to T.C. A. § 29-16-123. Since actions predicated on inverse condemnation are outside the scope of the jurisdiction of the Claims Commission, the commissioner dismissed the claim. This appeal resulted. We reverse the judgment of the commissioner.

The appellant prevailed in the trial court, but nevertheless, as appealed claiming that the trial court erred in refusing to consolidate this action with another action relating to the same subject matter pending in the same court.
