Trial court's dismissal and judgment on the pleadings were affirmed on appeal. Plaintiff, a former partner in a physician practice, challenged the limited partnership's redemption of his interest following his breach of a separation agreement restriction against practicing outside specified counties.
Plaintiff was a partner of a physician practice and a limited partner in a real estate investment limited partnership. Continuing employment with the physician practice was a condition of remaining a limited partner. Following the termination of Plaintiff's employment with the physician group, Plaintiff, the physician group, and the limited partnership entered into a Separation Agreement. The limited partnership agreed not to redeem Plaintiff's interest in the limited partnership if he did not expand his practice outside Giles and Hickman Counties. Plaintiff began practicing outside these counties, and the limited partnership redeemed Plaintiff's interest. Plaintiff objected and filed a complaint seeking declaratory relief. The trial court granted the limited partnership's motions to dismiss and for judgment on the pleadings. Plaintiff appealed, and we affirm the trial court's judgments.
This summary was generated to explain the ruling in plain English and is not legal advice.
Plaintiff brought claims against Knox County and the County Clerk based on allegedly discriminatory employment practices. The trial court determined that Plaintiff committed serious discovery violations and imposed as a sanction the exclusion of certain evidence. With this evidence excluded, the trial court granted summary judgment to the Defendants. Plaintiff appeals, challenging the discovery sanction, the trial court's conclusion under the Tennessee Human Rights Act that the continuing violation doctrine did not apply, the trial court's conclusion that the Clerk was not individually liable, and the award of attorney's fees against the Plaintiff and her attorney. We affirm.
