JANINE HALTERMAN-SCOTT v. TENNESSEE SOCIETY OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Sep 17, 2024

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Jonathan H. Wardle, Lebanon, Tennessee (on appeal), and Phillip S. Georges (at trial and on appeal), Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Janine Halterman-Scott.

Attorneys 2: Anthony M. Berry, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellee, Tennessee Society of Certified Public Accountants.

Judge(s): USMAN

The Plaintiff was injured as a result of stepping into a hole in the grass on the Defendant’s property and brought a premises liability action. The trial court granted summary judgment to the Defendant, finding that the Plaintiff’s responses to the Defendant’s statement of undisputed material facts established that the Defendant had no actual or constructive notice of the dangerous condition. On appeal, the Plaintiff asserts there is evidence from which notice could be inferred. We conclude that the trial court properly granted summary judgment. The judgment is affirmed.
