Vanderbilt University Medical Center (“Vanderbilt”) filed suit in the Chancery Court of Davidson County against Macon County (“County”) seeking a judgment against County in the amount of $20,671.95 for medical services rendered by Vanderbilt in Nashville to an inmate who had been in the custody of County and who had been brought to Vanderbilt for treatment. Both Vanderbilt and County filed motions for summary judgment, supported by affidavit or affidavits. Following a hearing, the chancellor denied County’s summary judgment motion and granted summary judgment in favor of Vanderbilt. On appeal, County has raised two issues which are as follows:
1. Did the trial court err in ruling that venue was proper in Davidson County; 2. In granting Vanderbilt’s motion for summary judgment.
