Court Reviews the Allocation of Debts and Expenses in a Case Involving the Dissolution of a Real Estate Partnership

T. VERNER SMITH v. JERRY F. GARDNER (Tenn. Ct. App. April 27, 2011)

This appeal involves a suit for dissolution of a real estate partnership. The defendant-appellee also filed several counterclaims against the plaintiff, who is an attorney. After a bench trial, the trial court dissolved the partnership and found that the defendant-appellant was liable for one-half of the partnership's debts and expenses. The court dismissed the counterclaims. We affirm.
