Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Emily Cala, Knoxville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Mark Elliott.

Attorneys 2: Ben H. Houston II, Knoxville, Tennessee, for the appellees, Dave Wright and Patricia Wright.

Judge(s): DAVIS

The plaintiff in this landlord-tenant dispute sought a temporary injunction in the general sessions court, asking the court to force the defendant landlords to repair an air conditioning unit. The general sessions court granted a temporary injunction and later held a final hearing, after which it awarded the plaintiff $24,793.63 in damages. The defendants appealed to the circuit court which, following a bench trial, dismissed the plaintiff’s case. The circuit court, inter alia, concluded that the plaintiff offered no proof of his damages. The plaintiff timely appealed the circuit court’s judgment to this Court. Discerning no error, we affirm.
