Teresa Constantino/Lila Williams vs. Charlie/Glenda Williams W1999-00229-COA-R3-CV Authoring Judge: Judge Holly M. Kirby Trial Court Judge: W. Michael Maloan This case involves the interpretation of a deed. The granting clause of the deed created a life estate in the grantee, the ex-husband of the grantor, with a remainder to the three children of the grantee and grantor. However, the habendum clause retained a life estate in the grantor. The trial court decided that the grantor did not retain a life estate because any ambiguity in the deed should be construed strictly against the grantor. The grantor appealed to this Court. We reverse.	Weakley	Court of Appeals	02/25/00

Bennie Faulkner vs. Homer Skelton W1999-00621-COA-R3-CV Authoring Judge: Judge Holly M. Kirby Trial Court Judge: Robert L. Childers This is a personal injury and wrongful death case involving an automobile accident. The plaintiffs, husband and wife, suffered injuries, and the wife's mother, a passenger in the car, died as a result of the accident. The driver of the other car was a sixteen-year old boy. The plaintiffs sued the boy's grandfather, and various corporate entities that he owned, alleging that they were the true owners of the car and had let the boy drive it for family and business purposes, and also alleging negligent entrustment. The trial court granted summary judgment to the defendants. We affirm, finding the evidence insufficient to support claims under any of these theories.	Shelby	Court of Appeals	02/24/00

Lee Greer vs. Maureen Zolfagharbik W1999-01013-COA-R3-CV Authoring Judge: Judge Holly M. Kirby Trial Court Judge: Ron E. Harmon This is a will contest case. The defendant/appellant challenges the validity of a mutual release she signed in which she waived any right she had to challenge the revocation of the decedent's will or to establish any rights under the decedent's will, in exchange for a release of any claims the estate may have had against her. The trial court found that the mutual release signed by the defendant/appellant effectively waived any claim she may have had to establish the validity of the decedent's will. We affirm, finding that the mutual release was an effective waiver of any rights the defendant/appellant had under the will or to challenge revocation of the will.	Henry	Court of Appeals	02/23/00

Valerie Humphreys vs. Stuart Breakstone W1999-02502-COA-R3-CV Authoring Judge: Judge Holly M. Kirby Trial Court Judge: W. Michael Maloan This is a legal malpractice action. The plaintiff is the majority shareholder of a corporation as well as a member of the corporation's board of directors. The defendant attorney and law firm represented the corporation. The plaintiff sued the defendant for professional malpractice, negligence, collusion, and interference in economic development, arising out of the defendant's representation of the corporation. The trial court held that the plaintiff did not have standing to bring a derivative suit in her own name since all of the alleged injuries were suffered by the corporation, not the plaintiff. We affirm, finding that a derivative suit to address injuries to a corporation must be filed in the name of the corporation, and that an individual shareholder may not sue pro se on behalf of the corporation.
