Description
The plaintiff, Timothy Ware, appeals from the Court of Appeals ruling, which reduced the $75,000 judgment awarded him by the Davidson County Circuit Court to $25,000. The issue presented for our determination can be stated as follows: in a case appealed from the general sessions court to the circuit court and subjected to de novo review, is the longstanding common-law rule limiting plaintiffs recovery in the circuit court to the jurisdictional limits of the general sessions court viable in light of the adoption of the Tennessee Rules of Civil Procedure and the principles of judicial economy? Although a majority of the Court of Appeals reduced Wares judgment in accordance with this rule, we conclude that the rule should not be retained; and we adopt the following opinion of the Dissenting Judge in this case, William C. Koch, Jr., as our rationale.
