Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1:

Robert Dalton and L. Jeffrey Payne, Lewisburg, Tennessee, for the appellants, Samuel C. Clemmons and Shannon N. Clemmons.

Attorneys 2:

Virginia L. Story and Kathryn L. Yarbrough, Franklin, Tennessee, for the appellee, Johnny Nesmith.

Judge(s): DINKINS

Defendants appeal the judgment entered in favor of Plaintiff in this breach of contract action arising out of a failure to pay a promissory note. Defendants argue that the trial court erred in several pretrial rulings, in concluding that the contract was ambiguous and considering parol evidence, in holding that the attorney that drafted the agreement represented Defendants and construing the ambiguous term against them, and in denying their motion to supplement the appellate record. Upon our review, we discern no reversible error and affirm the judgment of the trial court.
