SCOTT MATERIALS, INC. v. S.T.A. FINANCIAL, INC., ET AL.

Posted by: Azya Thornton on Dec 30, 2025

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Dan E. Huffstutter, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Scott Materials, Inc.

Attorneys 2: J. Ross Pepper and Peter D. Suglia, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellee, S.T.A. Financial, Inc. and Scott Anderson.

Judge(s): CLEMENT

This is an action for breach of contract and violations of the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act (the “TCPA”). The defendants, who are Minnesota residents and who have no business activities in Tennessee except for this one transaction with the plaintiff, responded to the complaint by filing a Tenn. R. Civ. P. 12.02 motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction and failure to state a claim on which relief could be granted. The trial court granted the motion on both grounds. This appeal followed. Finding no error, we affirm.
