Court reviews breach of contract, fraudulent inducement, and misrepresentation claims in a case involving the sale of real property

ROZBEH ZAIRE v. AMIR ROSHAN-FAR (Tenn. Ct. App. June 1, 2012)

This appeal arises out of a lawsuit in which plaintiff sought recovery on claims of fraudulent inducement, breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation, and intentional misrepresentation with respect to the purchase of real property; the trial court awarded judgment to plaintiff only on the claim for negligent misrepresentation only. Both parties appeal. We affirm the judgement in all respects.
