Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: Oliver D. Adams and Leah Walker McClanahan, Knoxville, Tennessee, for the appellants, Kelly Lish and LLW.

Attorneys 2: Adam G. Russell, Knoxville, Tennessee, and H. Scott Reams, Morristown, Tennessee, fo the appellees, David Walker and O. Raymond Lowry.

Judge(s): MCCLARTY

This breach of contract case involves a partnership dispute where one partner who undertook the winding down of the long-term partnership sought (1) reimbursement of loans and advances made to cover partnership expenses together with interest thereon; (2) compensation for services rendered on behalf of the partnership and attorney fees; and (3) taking into account the foregoing, disbursement of partnership funds to the partners. The other two partners disputed the claims and made counterclaims. Because we cannot ascertain whether the trial court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law support the judgment, we vacate the judgment and remand it for the entry of a more detailed order that reflects that it is the product of the trial court’s individualized decision-making and independent judgment.
