Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Paul T. Housch, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Timothy Brown.

Attorneys 2: Harold E. Rushton, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellee, Robert Ferguson.

Judge(s): MCBRAYER

A property owner hired a local contractor to build a custom-designed home. A payment dispute arose midway through construction, and the contractor stopped working. The owner paid others to repair and complete the home. Then he filed suit against the contractor asserting multiple theories of recovery. Among other things, the trial court found the contractor liable for breach of contract and fraudulent misrepresentation. As compensatory damages, it awarded the owner the additional costs he incurred to repair and complete the home above the contract price. We affirm in part, vacate in part, and remand for recalculation of compensatory damages.
