Case Number
E2002-01479-COA-R3-CV
In this suit, Plaintiffs Robert M. Overholt, Joe W. Black, and Michael D. Price sue Defendant Hugh Ray Wilson, seeking possession of a portrait of long-time University of Tennessee football coach, General Robert R. Neyland. The suit also sought injunctive relief as to a proposed sale of the portrait by Mr. Wilson in connection with a bankruptcy sale of assets of a corporation owned by him. Mr. Wilson's sole defense of the suit was that it was barred by T.C.A. 28-3-105(2), the three-year statute of limitations for recovery of personal property. The trial court submitted to the jury a single question regarding the only material factual dispute, and upon receipt of the jury's finding held that the statute of limitations was not a viable defense and granted judgment in favor of the Plaintiffs. Mr. Wilson appeals and raises four issues, hereinafter set out, for our consideration. We find that they are without merit and affirm.
