    Holding that the failure to return proof of service of a summons does not preclude the plaintiff's ability to rely on the commencement date of suit to toll the statute of limitations

    Ms. Fair appealed, and a divided Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal. Fair v. Cochran, No. E2011–00831–COA–R3–CV, 2012 WL 1071142, at *1 (Tenn.Ct.App. Mar. 30, 2012). We granted Ms. Fair permission to appeal.

  2. Fisher v. Ankton

    No. W2014-00882-COA-R3-CV (Tenn. Ct. App. May. 5, 2015)   Cited 3 times

    Ms. Ankton urges this Court to affirm the ruling of the trial court. Specifically, Ms. Ankton agrees with the trial court's interpretation of Rule 4.03 as imposing a ninety-day window on a plaintiff to file a return of proof of service. For this premise, Ms. Ankton cites a case decided by this Court, Fair v. Cochran, No. E2011-00831-COA-R3-CV, 2012 WL 1071142 (Tenn. Ct. App. Mar. 30, 2012). We note, however, that our decision in Fair was reversed by the Tennessee Supreme Court on September 12, 2013.
