Defendant's Attorney: Benjamin E. Goldammer

Description: Nasville, Tennessee pro se plaintiff, representing herself without a lawyer, sued Defendant on a breach of contract theory.


Appellant sued Appellee for breach of contract on May 29, 2019 in the Davidson County Chancery Court (the "trial court"). Appellee filed a motion for partial summary judgment on May 11, 2020, seeking summary judgment only on any claims by Appellant for "benefit of the bargain" damages and earnest money forfeiture. Appellee then filed a second motion for summary judgment on March 24, 2021, seeking summary judgment on all the claims raised by Appellant. On June 7, 2021, the trial court granted Appellee's second motion for summary judgment. The trial court concluded that its ruling on Appellee's second summary judgment motion rendered the damages issues raised by Appellee in the first motion for partial summary judgment moot. Therefore, the trial court denied the motion for partial summary judgment as moot. The trial court also awarded Appellee $11,882.60 in attorney's fees and expenses.

Outcome: "This appeal is dismissed and this cause is remanded to the trial court for all further proceedings as are necessary and consistent with this Opinion. Costs of appeal are taxed to Appellant Donna Anderson, for which execution may issue if necessary." Anderson v. White (Tenn. App. 2022)
