IN THIS WEEKS TAM-Bytes


Supreme Court rules trial court erred in determining that written
notice of claim that plaintiff filed with Division of Claims
Administration, filed within one-year limitations period, was
sufficient to trigger 90-day window provided in TCA 20-1-119 to
name non-party defendant as comparative tort-feasor;
Court of Appeals, in defamation case, declines to extend fair report
privilege to apply to informal reports and official and unofficial
investigations, contacts, and communications;
Court of Appeals says TCA 62-5-703 grants decedents surviving
spouse right to control inscription on decedents headstone as part of
right of disposition;
SUPREME COURT
CIVIL PROCEDURE: When tree planted on property owned by state fell
on plaintiff's car on 12/24/09 while he was crossing bridge in Clarksville,
plaintiff filed written notice of claim against state on 12/17/10, Division of
Claims Administration failed to honor or deny claim within 90 days and
claim was transferred on 3/17/11 to administrative clerk of Claims
Commission, plaintiff filed formal complaint with Claims Commission on
4/14/11, state filed amended answer on 9/18/12 alleging that City of
Clarksville was comparatively at fault, Claims Commission allowed
amendment on 10/5/12, and plaintiff filed suit against city on 11/26/12, trial
court erred in determining that written notice of claim that plaintiff filed
with Division of Claims, filed within one-year limitations period, was
sufficient to trigger 90-day window provided in TCA 20-1-119; complaint,
not written notice of claim, is "original complaint" under TCA 20-1-119, so

90-day window to name non-party defendant as comparative tort-feasor was


never triggered; TCA 9-8-402(b), tolling provision in Claims Commission
Act, is not applicable to toll statute of limitation for claim against
municipality filed under Governmental Tort Liability Act. Moreno v. City
of Clarksville, 9/18/15, Nashville, Kirby, dissent by Wade, 29 pages.

WORKERS COMP APPEALS PANEL


WORKERS COMPENSATION: Evidence did not preponderate against
trial courts finding that bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome of employee, truck
driver, was caused or aggravated by his employment when trial court found
that employee did have carpal tunnel syndrome to some extent prior to
becoming an employee of [employer] and that his work with [employer]
advanced or aggravated his CTS to the point where it became much more
symptomatic and caused him to seek medical treatment; trial court properly
reversed its original award of temporary total disability from 9/10/07 until
7/6/11 when employee could have worked (with restricted duties) during
period from 9/07 until maximum medical improvement in 7/11, it appears
that employees inability to work was based on other medical issues, not
carpal tunnel syndrome, and thus, employee failed to prove causal
connection between work injury and his ability to work. DeMorato v.
Cherokee Insurance Co., 9/10/15, Memphis, Brasfield, 9 pages.
http://www.tncourts.gov/sites/default/files/demoratoopn.pdf

WORKERS COMPENSATION: Trial court did not err in according


presumption of correctness to anatomical impairment rating of MIR
physician in case in which plaintiff contends that AMA Guides Sixth
Edition, upon which MIR physician based his rating, is medically incorrect
as applied to employees injury; while under certain circumstances, failure
to properly follow AMA Guides may be excused, there is no authority for
proposition that following AMA Guides as statutorily directed somehow
renders physicians determination based thereon invalid. Alexander v. A&A
Express LLC, 9/10/15, Memphis, Brasfield, 16 pages.
http://www.tncourts.gov/sites/default/files/alexanderopn.pdf

WORKERS COMPENSATION: When defendant terminated plaintiff on


8/22/12, but parties contractually agreed that she would continue working
for defendant through 9/28/12, plaintiff injured her back on 8/27/12 while
working for defendant, she continued working for defendant following her
injury and through 9/28/12, at which time her employment ended, plaintiff
did not return to work for defendant following end of her employment with

defendant and her release from treatment on 3/20/13, and plaintiff filed
workers compensation complaint on 8/13/13, trial court erred in ruling that
plaintiff had meaningful return to work and applying 1.5 times cap; even
layoff of employee for purely economic reasons following employees postinjury return to work may be deemed termination of employment
relationship which results in absence of meaningful return to work and
inapplicability of 1.5 times cap; temporary nature of plaintiffs employment
with defendant following her termination and contractual extension is not
relevant to application of meaningful return to work concept; trial court
appears to have based its finding that plaintiff had meaningful return to
work upon plaintiffs return to work immediately after accident and her
continuing to work until expiration of her contract, but, at that point in time,
plaintiff had not reached maximum medical impairment and had not
received any restrictions, and hence, it was premature for trial court to make
its meaningful return to work determination based on that point in time.
Swaner v. G4S Youth Services LLC, 9/14/15, Nashville, Cantrell, 12 pages.
http://www.tncourts.gov/sites/default/files/g4s-swaneropnjo.pdf

COURT OF APPEALS
TORTS: In defamation and false light invasion of privacy action based on
allegedly defamatory newspaper article published by defendant newspaper,
reporter, editor, and publisher detailing plaintiffs involvement in recentlyapproved investment by Memphis City Council to fund revitalization of
Southbrook Mall located in Whitehaven neighborhood of Memphis, trial
court erred in concluding that fair report privilege applied when
councilmans statement could reasonably be read as involving unofficial,
off-the record statement that lack[s] the dignity and authoritative weight
of official actions and proceedings; article did not form assertion under
which plaintiffs claim of defamation can be sustained for purpose of
motion to dismiss when article raised question about plaintiffs involvement
in Southbrook Mall project and whether he was being honest with city
officials, but question raised did not constitute assertion by defendant that
plaintiff was either hiding his involvement or deceiving city officials;
statements were capable of being defamatory sufficient to avoid dismissal
of plaintiffs claim of defamation by implication when plain and natural
import of articles language and implications suggest that plaintiff had not
been forthright with city leaders regarding his control or financial interest
over project, and nature of these allegations may hold plaintiff up to ridicule
and disparage any reputation he had as fair and forthright businessman.
Grant v. Commercial Appeal, 9/18/15, ES, Stafford, 22 pages.
http://www.tncourts.gov/sites/default/files/grantgopn.pdf

INSURANCE: When plaintiffs acquired homeowners insurance policy in


1995 that did not expressly include or exclude sinkhole coverage, policy
was renewed every year through 2011, prior to effective date of TCA 56-7130, insurers doing business in Tennessee were not required to make
available coverage for insurable sinkhole losses on dwellings they insured,
for policies issued or renewed on or after January 7, 2007, statute stated
that every insurer offering homeowner property insurance in Tennessee
shall make available coverage for insurable sinkhole losses on any dwelling,
including contents of personal property contained in the dwelling, to the
extent provided in the policy to which the sinkhole coverage attaches, in
3/11, plaintiffs house was damaged by what they allege was sinkhole, and
plaintiffs filed suit against insurer in 7/12 asserting claims for breach of
contract, violations of Tennessee Consumer Protection Act, and bad faith
under TCA 56-7-105, TCA 56-7-130 did not require insurers to notify
policyholders that they could purchase sinkhole coverage; when policy
covered accidental direct physical loss to property covered under Dwelling
and Other Structures Coverages except for losses excluded in this section,
facts material to determining cause of damages to plaintiffs home were
disputed, and insurer is not entitled to summary judgment. Patterson v.
Shelter Mutual Insurance Co., 9/11/15, MS, Clement, 12 pages.
http://www.tncourts.gov/sites/default/files/patterson.keith_.opn_.pdf

ESTATES & TRUSTS: When decedent was married twice and had four
children with first wife and three with second, Doyle, son of second
marriage, sought to have admitted to probate will providing bequests of
$1,000 to other children, stating that decedent had considered children of
deceased child and omitted them from share of estate, and rest, residue, and
remainder of decedents estate was bequeathed to Doyle, and three children
filed complaint to contest will, evidence did not preponderate against trial
courts finding that confidential relationship existed between Doyle and
decedent when decedent placed confidence in Doyle with regard to
activities of daily living and financial affairs, among other things, and that
because of that confidence Doyle had ability to influence and exercise
dominion and control over decedent; evidence did not preponderate against
trial courts finding that Doyle had failed to rebut presumption of undue
influence by clear and convincing evidence when decedent was 90 years old
when he executed will, had previously suffered stroke, and had diabetes,
decedent had between third and sixth grade education, and two other
children from decedents second marriage, testified that they offered to do
more to assist decedent and that they were told by Doyle that they could not
and that he had things under control, and that they were unaware of

existence of will and its terms until after decedents death. In re Estate of
Dukes, 9/11/15, ES, Swiney, 23 pages.
http://www.tncourts.gov/sites/default/files/inreestateofdoyleidukesopn.pdf

ESTATES & TRUSTS: TCA 62-5-703 grants decedents surviving


spouse right to control inscription on decedents headstone as part of right
of disposition, i.e., right to determine disposition of remains of decedent,
including location, manner, and conditions of disposition and arrangements
for funeral goods and services; inscription of certain name on decedents
headstone is not attempt to change persons name, or correct error on
persons birth certificate, and name change statute is not implicated when
name other than decedents legal name, i.e., nickname or moniker, is used
on headstone. In re Estate of Love, 9/18/15, WS, Armstrong, 7 pages.
http://www.tncourts.gov/sites/default/files/inreestateoflovet.pdf

PROPERTY: When deed granting easement refers to already existing


right-of-way, dimensions and location of easement may be construed to
conform to right-of-way already in existence at creation of easement; in
case of dispute over private airstrip easement, because of indefinite nature
of location of airstrip easement, trial court correctly considered extrinsic
evidence in making its ruling notwithstanding dimensions of airstrip
referred to in deed and agreement; burdens of express easement appurtenant
pass regardless of whether purchaser has notice, and false assertions of
abandonment by common grantor are insufficient to terminate rights of
dominant estate. Holder v. Serodino, 9/16/15, MS, McBrayer, 21 pages.
http://www.tncourts.gov/sites/default/files/holderc.opn1_.pdf

GOVERNMENT: In case in which Bivens, incumbent candidate for


office of Sheriff of Monroe County, challenged election for sheriff based
upon ineligibility of other candidate (White), trial court properly voided
election when White lacked statutorily prescribed qualifications to hold
sheriffs office because he did not possess three years of full-time
experience as POST Commission certified law enforcement officer; trial
court properly found no ambiguity or conflict between statutory
qualifications required by TCA 8-8-102 and definition of requisite three
years of full-time experience in TCA 38-8-101(2). Bivens v. White,
9/16/15, ES, McClarty, 16 pages.
http://www.tncourts.gov/sites/default/files/bivensopn.pdf

COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS


CRIMINAL PROCEDURE: In case in which wife obtained order of
protection against estranged husband which specified that husband must

not come about wife (including coming by or to shared residence) for any
purpose and must not contact wife, either directly or indirectly, by phone,
email, messages, text messages, mail or any other type of communication or
contact, order of protection was not ambiguous order clearly instructed
defendant to refrain from coming about wife and coming by their
previously shared residence, and ordinary person would understand orders
prohibitions; defendant did not violate protective order when he came
about wife in shopping plaza or came about wifes residence while
traveling to cookout, but husband knowingly violated order of protection
when he stopped his vehicle on road and tried to take picture of wife and
her male friend. State v. Daniel, 9/16/15, Nashville, Witt, 9 pages.
http://www.tncourts.gov/sites/default/files/danieldonadedwardopn.pdf

CRIMINAL PROCEDURE: In case in which defendant was convicted of


six counts of aggravated sexual battery in connection with offense
committed against defendants 6-year-old stepdaughter, trial judge did not
abuse discretion in allowing state to use leading questions during victims
direct examination in light of victims age and circumstances of case and
fact that leading questions did not unduly prejudice defendant because after
questions, victim agreed that such encounters occurred and then added
further details about incidents from her own memory. State v. Diaz,
9/18/15, Nashville, Page, 20 pages.
http://www.tncourts.gov/sites/default/files/diazluisjorgeopn.pdf

COURT OF WORKERS COMP CLAIMS


WORKERS COMPENSATION: Employee carried his burden of
establishing that he suffered injury primarily arising out of and in course
and scope of employment when employee testified that, while loading
materials onto truck, he noticed that materials being lowered from top of
tower were falling, that while reaching to grab rope from pulley in attempt
to secure them, plaintiff lost his balance, and that, as he fell to ground, he
heard his knee pop; plaintiff is entitled to past temporary partial disability
benefits when employee injured his knee on 11/3/14, employer fired him
for tardiness and refusal to complete job duties on 11/5/14, employee gave
timely written notice of injury on 11/7/14, and medical providers diagnosed
employee with knee derangement and issued discharge instructions that
prohibited him from bearing weight on his knee. Asberry v. Site
Communications, 6/5/15, Baker, 12 pages
http://trace.tennessee.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1104&context=utk_workerscomp

WORKERS COMPENSATION: For period beginning 3/10/15, doctors


records indicate that he released employee to return to limited duty with no

lifting over 10 pounds maximum and no occasional stooping, bending, or


twisting, employee testified that she started working as security officer on
3/21/14, and hence, employee is entitled to temporary partial disability
benefits of $241 per week from 3/10/15 through 3/20/15; employee is
entitled to temporary partial disability benefits at $46 per week beginning
3/21/15 through date of this order; employee is entitled to ongoing
temporary partial disability benefits until she is released to return to fullduty work by authorized treating physician or placed at maximum medical
improvement. King v. Als Foodland, 6/5/15, Johnson, 16 pages.
